To support stg.2
1. intake
2. header/ dp
3. catback
To HELP prevent blowing your motor with stg.2
1. Front mount heat exchanger (OTT/ZZP,etc.)
That is as far as I would go if your worried about blowing but you could alway do bolt on like, motor, tranny mounts, short throw shifter, sturt bar, etc.

thats correct. Once you start modding the car **** will break. I'm putting in tvs supercharge soon and i know my engine is going to blow sooner or later, the question is when. But a Cold Air Intake is a mod i would suggest first.

well your car, sir, is a freak of nature....my friends told me once you do something to the car **** will break. And it happend many of times, told my friend who has a ss/sc that and he didnt believe me, he did a few mods and things started breaking.

Cooling mods cool boost, cooler boost means a decreased chance of detonation, less detonation means no engine kaboom
ya i mean, you can look at my sig and see that my build is pretty solid, and the kid that tuned my car put a good one on it, a similiar one neted him 274 whp, but last night i hit some naaaasty kr coming through second gear, so i got off it and were gonna tweak the tune today. dont be afraid to break ****, just be ready to fix it.

Rules to follow when modding a car.
1. DONT MOD A CAR UNLESS YOUR PREPARED TO BREAK SOMETHING!
2. Dont try mods beyond your abilities/comfort/knowledge.
3. Double check and research everything before you do anything.
4. TUNE TUNE TUNE TUNE TUNE, 90% of peoples cars who blow up arent properly tunned.
You have GM stage 2 tune, which to my knowledge has blown up maybe one car, so its a very safe tune that for the most part you cant make blow up the car unless you drastically increase the boost.
