Default Simple Performance Upgrades?

I've only had my 2016 Z06 for a couple of months. I am curious to know what some of the upgrades are being done to increase HP yet not void my warranty. Is this even possible? Thanks for any and all feed back.

Yes and no. They won't warranty items related to the items you replace if they deem the aftermarket system is what caused the damage. The two safest things you can do are intake and exhaust. Bring more air in and and make it easier for exhaust gasses to escape. You wont see the full benefit of it without a tune, but it will give you a bit more. Horsepower is the touchiest of area's with warranty, you can do something like a set of sway bars to make the car more composed in corners. We make drop spindles that lower the car an inch while retaining factory springs and don't change vehicle geometry so that your magnetic ride works as designed.
