Default Stock GXP best SOTP mod?
Just got a stock 06 GXP w 56K. Was wondering what you guys thought was the best SOTP budget mod. Not interested in nitrous and turbo is out of my price range too.

Get a hold of 06MonteSS (Lew) and have him set you up with a Trinity and a tune.

That's easily the best SOTP mod for these cars.

I figured a tune might be the most noticeable but I thought if I were to get any bolt ons, maybe I should wait on the tune until afterwards.

Lew can tune for added mods too. You just have to send him a log.

Lew's tune will make you happy. After that, go for an LS1/6 intake swap. That is next on my list.
