Need Help

Quick question,

I have a '08 LT Auto. What would you guys recommend for my first/first few performance mods?

Also, how much HP would I be looking at fully bolted with this car and a tune?

BTW, sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and couldn't find anything.

Cold Air Intake of your choice, 2.4 Intake Manifold, Obx Headers, ZZP Downpipe 2.5in, Catback muffler of your choice, and uh LSJ Throttle body, Top it off with a Trifecta Tune, Ive seen 190 HP. Then you can go either way, turbo or super...Im choosing super.

Because not everyone has 2 grand to drop on a supercharger set all of a sudden : )
So enjoy it til you can afford its only hundred maybe two hundred more than just waiting for the supercharger. and i havent gotten the obx yet, but thanks for the heads up.

right, but spending to go fully bolted and tuned, then turn around and sc/tc isnt smart.
if u know u want to go forced induction before u start bolting on a NA then save for the sc/tc. If you want a decent DD, just go fully bolted and tuned and be satisfied

btw while choosing exhaust and being NA make sure you dont go over 2.5" piping. even your catback could be 2.25".

Im going to be running a bad-mab with a 2.5" catted ZZP DP, and a 2.25" tsudo catback.
Might end up changing that to a 2.5" Borla catback but once spring comes the above is what ill be running.
