2. Halltech Stinger CFV-increased horsepower without throwing codes
3. Akropovic Cat Back exhaust with X-Pipe (mine has Corsa)- it barks
4. Pirelli P Zero non run flat tires and Carbon Forged Wheels- improved ride and handling
5. Tinted Windows

if the Z06 isn't you daily then 20% all the way around and 35% on the windshield
if it is your daily then 20% all the way and leave the windshield blank

if you do that 30/60 ratio you will see the differences on the windows when the car is in the light. just an idea

Would 2nd this. Those R888Rs will give you SO much traction but you don't want them up front cuz they're loud af. Still good in the rain too. I would say a Haltech CAI over a green filter but same difference. I would HARD pass on the GM ride calibration. I paid the $350 or whatever it was to have this done and there was absolutely zero difference. I personally wouldn't recommend any suspension "work" but if you're going to do it, get the DSC

What year is yours that you didn't notice the suspension calibration? Everyone seems to have a general consensus that it helps. I was about to do this.

2016. I suppose it's possible the dealership just lied and said they did it when they didn't, but that seems unlikely

I actually did 5% on all windows and 40% on the windshield and it's my DD. It's only a problem when I'm reversing in the dark and trying to see my side views. I have to roll the window down for that

Default Tony Mamo PTB, CAI, 3" X Pipe

Kudos to Tony Mamo. A 20 minute install and no Codes on dash. GM CAI installed at dealer in October/20. PTB and X Pipe installed 4 weeks ago. Again, no codes on dash. Worried about running too rich, I'm scheduled for a safe tune in a couple months. Not interested in supercharger pulley changes, way too much power for the street. Will dyno before the tune and after. Waiting for our long winter to be over.
