Default 06 Monte Carlo SS upgrades, new to ls1

Ok first to start im not to car savvy, i know parts and ect. my friend and his father are big chevy guys and held the fastest street car title in NYS for 5 years and are currently building a nova to retake over the title. they build all there all products so anything i have to have done theyre obviously going to help, but im looking to upgrade my SS, it is currently stock except for the rims, My car is under full warranty until 150k miles so im trying not to void it, and it is my daily driver and i sell cars at a car dealership so i could use the service dept if i had to. has anyone put any work into a 06 monte carlo LS4 that knows some easy ways to gain some power without putting the car at risk? like i said im not to savvy with parts so anything will help or possibly a link to the product you suggest. thanks for any help in advance. theyre trying to get me to put a 100 shot on NOS on it, but i prefer just some easy upgrades on motor.

Aside from doing the possibility of doing an air intake and a cat-back, anything *could* potentially void your warranty. In stock form your transmission is a weak link.

diablosport inTune or Trinity and a custom tune done for it www.diablewtune.com

150k mile warranty, but for how many years? it's one or the other.. car is already 7+ years old, so may be out of warranty already, heh...

Default upgrades

I would start with a polymount dogbone, shift kit, trans cooler and STBs.
