New Tucson SS Owner

Hey guys my name Joe and I just bought a 06 SS/SC. Its in need of a paint job and few front end parts, lots of popping and fun stuff while driving from the front end. Anyways I will be here with tons of tech questions when I start tearing into this thing.

It depends on what your goals are with it. I would go with cooling first before you start going crazy with pullies/tuning

There is a nice group of us here in Tucson. We get together very regularly and are guys.....and a couple girls.....that enjoy these cars. We got a nice range of base cars to an SS/NA to a blown 2.2 to SS's and a redline. A lot of knowledge about these cars and capable minds and hands.
