Default Upgrading the new camaro

Well ive been slowly upgrading my new 2010 and for the most part ive been doing good. But heres the thing. I have normally shopped for my 90 with a SB in it and looking for parts to go to the new camaro is a little more difficult cuz im not gonna get to crazy with it. i wanna keep from having any issues with my warrenty. Im looking at a set of coil packs from MSD but i cant find a listing for the LS3 just LS1, LS2, LS6 and LS7. if someone could tell me which option would the the right choice that would be great and aslo any other suggesstions would be nice.

From what I have seen on the board, the coils arent worth it. Maybe get a cold air kit, that way you can switch it back for warranty, unless that doesnt void the warranty and you can leave it on.

You can throw an UD pulley on without an issue, 160* stat, and depending on how friendly your local dealership is you might be able to get away with some LT headers. Our local dealers typically won't void the warranty due to headers since you aren't modifying the powertrain. I wouldn't waste your money on coils. The factory coils will do everything you need them to do. Let us know if we can help and we'll get you fixed up!

Coil packs would be a waste of money, the stockers are just fine.

I'd say a CAI, which can you remove for visits to the dealer, mufflers for sound. But when I get one I'll do CAI, and full exhaust and will look pretty hard at the TSP setup.
