Shout out to all

Hi. I'm Cary. From Canada. Only owned older V8's and had a '98 Grand Prix 3.8. My wife used to have a '06 LT. So, I'm new to this. I have just acquired a '06 SS 2.4 about 2 months ago.
I don't have lots of money. But gave pretty good mech skills. I'm looking for upgrade ideas. Don't want a ricer it a track car. Nothing to prove. Just want it to be mine.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Or go and be like me and say to buy a supercharger kit off of a member such as mongorat and make over 200 WHP for about $1500 (kit is much cheaper than that but you need quite a few other things). The clutch will go quickly if you don't replace it before hand.

If you're mechanically inclined and have about two days, if it takes you super long, you can install the springs very easily. I did mine and I'm sure you could pick up Pedders pretty cheap even though I'd recommend you just get the CM springs since they're good and quite cheap at only $180 shipped.
