what can i do to my stock ss to be better than most ss here in my city lol in the group my brother is theres another ss the same color as mine just he has the chrome wheels i wanted to add something to make it faster cooler? any ideas i already ordered a intake thinking of ful exhaust

 

are you n/a, s/c or turbo?

 

oh my bad lol forgot to post that
s/c

 

Search the site.

All the answers are here.

 

turbo swap or you could go with a stage kit with exhaust and a header/dp combo

 

maybe swap once i sell my other ss or other cars lol i think im going with wheels and a drop and later do the performance

 

Go before show!

 

Wait you have two ss's?

 

Yeah my man if you want performance first definitely do cosmetics last..

Few things you can do that wont damage your car on the stock M62..

CAI (whine + performance), I use Injen, ZZP makes a great product and K&N sounds great.

GM Stage 2, OTTP Stages, ZZP stages, or read up on other stages to see what you would like best. Hp gains anywhere from like 20-40+ from the stock 205hp.

Obviously with the stages, added Header/dp/cat back adds some hp and nice sound to the car.

For the best results I would start with a CAI then get a Stage X kit from a provider. Check out the vendors for more info or I'm sure there is a sticky somewhere... or the search button haha.

EDIT:
Also, if you want no wheel hop and some smoother shifting, my buddy helped me out with this as well.

Stage 2 OTT Rotated Trans Mounts (or Stage 1, but I recommend Stage 2)

Shifter as well:

You get a little vibrations with the mounts when they are first installed and then about after 800 - 1000 miles they get fully broken in and the vibes go away a bit. It's seriously a night an day difference. The reason why I recommended a shifter is because when I did my trans mounts I installed a TWM short shifter as well and all I can say is the quality was unbelievable. Seriously, I had gotten used to the stock shifter and overall feel of the car but when I installed this TWM shifter and the Trans mounts, it literally felt like I was driving a different car. ZERO wheel hop + perfect, precise, shorter shifts = Sex. It was a very solid car. So I would recommend those. Don't go cheap with the trans mounts or the shifter (if you plan to get one).

A lot of people go with Turbo Tech Racing STOP Trans mounts too:

But the thing is if you look at the materials used with the OTT Performance mounts they use a rubber mount, The TTR STOP mounts are poly urethane. I'm not sure if you've heard much but any poly urethane mounts create a LOT of vibrations. They do go down quite a bit too after the initial break in but my experience with them is honestly for a DD you might not want them. For a track car, go for it.
