so far from what i read, available performance upgrades are limited but we're able to get a Cold Air Inductions CAI, Hurst STS, headers are unavailable, a V-MAX Black Ice-olator (not sure), supposedly a ported throttle body is in the works, and MACE is working on cam's for the LLT and once they have that on lock they said they'll start working on cam for the LFX, with the LFX motor being so new and different the market has yet to be touched

i predict it'll be closer to 2013 till we start getting good mods

I am curious to know what is available as well. My 2012 should be in this weekend barring any further delays. I would like to see what I can start doing on this.

I would really appreciate if you would just post what you see around the forums here and ill update it into a list and I will try to get as much info on it as possible. I will start updating it tommrow, and I know that it will be a little bit longer until there are a lot of modifications for the LFX engine. I might even put non performance modifications I know its not in the right section but it would be so easy to have all types of modifications in one spot like exterior, interior modifications, performance mods, exhaust, and what not. It dosent hurt to be organized

Thanks for all your help in advance I greatly appreciate it!

Cold air intakes available:
Cold Air Induction's cold air intake
Rotofab's cold air intake
Injen short ram cold air intake

Short Throw Shifters available:
Hurst
MGW
Barton

Headers are obviously not "available" because there's no such thin on a 2012 LFX engine.

The VMAX Ice-olator is NOT compatible with the LFX because the LFX runners do not match with the LLT runners.

Seems from what I've heard the Black ICE-olater would probably have no affect being that the IM is already plastic on the LFX motor vs metal on the LLT. Headers are not an option on the LFX and I do know Tracy is or has been working on the TB which I've been hearing is coming soon.
As already said, aftermarket exhaust, and CAI are available and Vararam is doing R&D on a intake for the LFX being that there is a design difference between the two motors. If I were want to get a CAI I would personally wait for the VR but that's me. If its anything like what is available to the LLT, its a killer CAI! I know I spent a lot of money in the early stages having a 'I want or have to have it now' mentality. Had I waited just a little longer in mods in certain areas I feel I could have had the best and not been in a position of trying to sell to get some of my money back on previous mods.
I think if I had a LFX I'd be looking exhaust first, then the TB, if you have a manual shift, a short throw shifter and almost forgot the Trifecta tune. I'd look to BNR Bad News Racing to see if its available for your car. It'll be the best money spent for a performance adder.

I read in another thread that the an engine tune on a stock manual v6, or even one with an aftermarket exhaust and cai, is not that noticeable. Is this really the case?

I was referring to the above thread, where a couple people seemed to be saying that the power gains from a tune on a v6 with relatively few mods are fairly minimal, so I was wondering if people thought the same thing for the new LFX models or not.
