i agree with NV. get used to the car for a bit first before adding suspension, engine parts, etc. Plus, you're still in the initial break in period, so you shouldn't do too much to it until that first 800-1000 miles or so. then you can beat the (removed) out of it. LOL

Oh yes it has summer performance tires on it. I will need winter ones, and my MS3 winter setup wont work because 16"s dont fit with the brembos. So I'm going to have to get another setup on 17" rims.....which ugh is going to cost some bucks....man everyone on CSS is hunting me for pics...Im going to go back that thing out of the garage...

I met him in Chicago, he has a bolted HHRSS, pretty quick. Dyno'd I thought 290whp without a tune and all bolt ons. Ah I cant wait for stage 1/2. I think stage 2 is just 1 with a intake. So I may get just a stage 1 at the end of June then my own intake. Stage 1 is new sensors, and tune from what I remember.....

I'm afraid to do too much to mine for fear of losing the warranty. I put the Dejon BOV spring in mine a shortly thereafter started having boost issues. Put in a system and started having radio issues, now after that and my battery issues my Onstar module has failed and is in the shop waiting for the part to come in to replace.

well I miss the ms3..but the SS has full race suspension, gm stage 1, intake, downpipe, forge bpv, charge piping and I'll be throwing a custom tune on soon. should be 330-350whp. kinda sucks only putting that to the front but...I'll need some sticky tires, thinking nt05s.....
