I want more out of my car but I don't know what else I can get.
So far I have:
CAI
Bigger TB
Bigger Cams
P&P (this week)
4-1 Header
High Flow Cat
2.25 Catback
Flow-Through Muffler
Lower Engine Mount
Upper Engine Mount
Hyper Voltage
Iridium Spark Plugs
3000Stall Torque Converter
Lightweight Crank Pulley (this week)
Lightweight Alternator Pulley (LD9 deal.. still waiting)
I'm good for suspension and looks, now all I want is performance. I'm staying N/A and getting a new Ecotec engine this week. So what else can add to my car to give it some more performance or at least free up some extra power. I just recently got my injectors cleaned and I use Royal Purple Oil and V-Power. I also gutted out my car, and thinking what else can I do, other then any tunning device.. yet. Any thing else that I can buy or do?
P.S. I'm thinking about putting on a resonator (my old test pipe), see if that makes a difference other than sound. Anything else? Thanks guys.

Forgot to mention that I have a B&M shiftplus and got my valve's re-adjusted recently. I don't want to dig into the engine too much right now, and stuff like pistons and rods, at least not on my engine. I don't need it.
Anything else?

I'll second the a arm bushings and throw in a sub frame brace.
Both help for launch and straight line acceleration.
Maybe a different intake manifold.
But not sure what you can use if you're running the Ecotec though.

Remember....syringes go in the RED waste basket.
Oh yeah, intake manifold.. totally forgot about that. But those are pretty pricey for the Ecotec, since there isn't any competition in selling them (venon being the only company that makes them).
Can you tell me some more info, and where to get it, on the arm bushings and the sub frame brace. I'm interested in that, knowing it'll help me straight line acceleration.
Thanks so far guys.

Forget the shift plus, Get HPtuners, and a lot more for your money.

And I stated that I wasn't going to get a tunning device yet, I want to finish buying bolt-ons and upgrades.
And this is my street car, if I go to the track, it won't be anytime soon.

Ceramic coated muffler bearings or a high speed kanibbler pin set would be nice.
JK! Car sounds good man.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
Everything you said you don't want to get is everything I'd suggest. Rods, pistons, tuning software, etc. You've got pretty much everything else. Dare I suggest ITBs. There's going to be some fab work to adapt a kit to the Ecotec but it's worth it if you do it right, especially with all the head and cam work.
