What are the most effective and warranty-friendly performance mods that you can do to your SS/SC?
I was thinking cold air intake, new SC pulleys, and computer chip.
Not too sure if any of these would void the warranty... i would assume the pulleys and chip would for sure.

Also, I was looking for a grille insert for the lower front bumper... I dont want my nice intercooler wrecked by bugs and rocks... any ideas?

Know of any other power-producing mods that are huge bang-for-the-buck?

search buttton is a good first step followed by a cai and then a chip will be a nice addition

Will a reflash/tune void your warranty?

It can be called a module/chip because it is in a box. But it is just a resistor.
