I'm picking up my base Jet Stream Blue Coupe 1lt.
Looking to modify and get the most hp possible while being n/a.
What would you guys suggest in the way of exhaust, cai, headers, etc... Also would like to get best suspension upgrades, would like to know what options might be available to beat the performance of the z51 package. I chose the base suspension because I hear that for the price of the z51 you can get a lot more performance.

Thanks in advance

Call JP & he can go over all the options and help design whats right for your goals. No "one size fits all" with these cars, so you will get a million opinions. We are not far from you either so you may want to swing by for a visit & in-person consultation.

We have 2 new (one has 3k miles on it) C6 A6's in right now for exhaust & tunes.
