Help with adding power to my 2014 V6.

Hey guys I really appreciate any good advice my fellow camaro owners can help me with. I dont want to supercharge it but I want to get as much Hp as I can with any mods you know would do that. Im not going to race it however I do like the idea of having some good power. Thanks gentleman.

Cold air intake is a good reasonably-priced start. Folks here tend to go with K&N.

CAI, tune, exhaust should net you some decent gains while not being terribly expensive.

Well I thought it more reasonable as a daily driver to go with the six to include the fact it runs a quarter in 1 sec less.

If you want the best gains don't get a handheld one. Research around your area for a good tuning shop.

If you're looking to keep it a reasonable daily driver, want to keep the mods simple.

First decide if you care about your power train warranty, then pick your mods accordingly.

On that note, does anyone know if a tune would void that?

Yes, it can. If anything happens to your engine, they will blame it on the tune and void your warranty.

Yes a tune will void your warranty. I want one so bad but to me its not worth voiding warranty
