More Mods!!!

Alright I have a 2009 Balt-SS/TC it has Hahn charge pipe, and a Injen CAI, also DP delete, running no cat- with a trifecta tune. Trying to figure out what other mods could I do. I have also lowered it using sportlines. That's pretty much the performance part of it. So anyone have any other ideas. Plz include them with part and what it will do for me. Thanks

New FMIC. Improved air cooling, moar powah.

Forge BPV. Better sound, eliminates rubber valve failure that is possible on stocker.

If you drag race (on a track), put some footballs in the springs. Car won't rock back during launch, so improved launches.

Tires. Duh.

There's tons you can do...

I won't even get into piston arms, sleeves, valve springs, etc.

Thing is you still need bolt ons for a big turbo lol.

Buy all the bolt ons and buy a big turbo after. Not to hard to add a different coupler on the intake end of a turbo.

Or just get (or wait for?) the ZZP EFR turbo...but you'll want internals before you put that on and go crazy on it.

e85 is a type of fuel called ethanol, commonly used in flex fuel vehicles but it is a great cooling mod. also u raise the rear of the vehicle and then stick deflated footballs in the springs inflate them and drop the car back down, or its drop the car back down and then inflate the i cant remember im tired and about to fall asleep lol.

E-85 has to be a tune I'm taking it. From trifecta? And I was thinking yeah a football into that little space don't they check that stuff out at the track tho. And what all it does it make it stiffer

they dont check anything at the track, except for safety stuff (lights and ****).

E85 is a fuel.

FMIC is a front mount intercooler.

No offense, but if you don't know this stuff, you need to worry less about your next mod, and learn more about your car. In other words, read read read. Save your money and read for the time being, or you'll end up doing something stoopid (and expensive).

buncha different states use it, its just not that popular as of yet.. As in, its not in as many places as gasoline yet.. definitely look into that, only reason I haven't yet, is cuz its not in 2 many local places in my area

Ima put it like this.. Im pretty much where you're at... my next performance mods(in this order) are TIRES,(I don't count springs as a performance mod since I don't autocross but they go here) Intercooler(TR8 or ZZP so far), Meth, ported TB and/or Intake Manifold, 'Valve Springs, pistons, an anything else I feel necessary..
