Default gm performance

the dealer where i bought my 02 z28 from told me that i can add anything to my car without voiding the waranty, as long as it is a gm part. does anyone know of any parts from gm that are worth getting? maybe heads/cam, or anything that will make my a4 kick more but than it already does?

Ask him if that applies to the C5R motor, too... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Seriously, though... some dealers are "mod friendly", and others are not (even if the modded pieces are GM Performance).

If you're willing to invest the cash, a set of LS6 heads and an '02 Z06 cam would liven the car up, as would an LS6 MAF. Other than that, I'm not sure of what else you could use... if you're restricting yourself to only GM pieces, your biggest issues will be exhaust and airbox lid.

Obeying the warranty kills all the fun. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> If I were you I'd look for a converter for that a4... I don't see why that would void it. Check yank over on the right side here. You're in Cali, so I'm not sure what is legal/illegal over there, so I'm not much of a help, as I'm across the continent from you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
