I saw an episode of Speed Racer where oil slicks and tacks were used to win. I'm also sure that such a mod would not invalidate your warranty, but your friend might be upset about it....

I have a 2012 ss and it only has high flow cats and borla atak exhaust. What else can I add without destroying my warranty? If it wasn't because of the warranty I wouldve smoked his ass along time ago but I want to keep it for now. He has already beat me twice at the straight line by a car length or two. By the way there both automatic.
My 2010 SS M6 with CAI, LT headers, fm CB, no cats, tune, made 411 RWHP. Dyno was done at Livernois Motorsports.... Just to give you an idea of what needs to be done to be at your buddies same HP...

M6 no problem, but the autos usually dyno 30-40 hp lower than the manuals, from what I hear.

tell your friend he shoulda got an ss with all those mods..
This is just a dumb comment. If his v6 beats the v8, why would he buy the v8? I bet he still spent less if not the same. And I think it would be much more fun to say my v6 can take your v8!

That's true, I think if he did the mods I listed and added a 3.91 gear, he shouldn't have a problem. But...

By the time you take in all the cost to do those mods, he should just go ahead and get a Maggie...

You figure
Headers 1000
CB 1000
Cai 500
Gears installed 5-700?

You already at 3k+

I know you could probably find a Maggie used for around that price.... New are around 6-7k I believe....

Some V8 guys just hate this. (And by some I mean those that say "It's just a V6 ")Others know the V6 can be faster, and do not slam them , And like you said , A V8 beating a V6 is no big deal , The other way around just has to demoralise . Either way Just proves Stock is not the way to stay if you dont want to eat crow,

He also ordered some AR headers last week so that's not going to help. Anybody know where I can get more stickers??

It is a proven fact 2 SS emblems is not as fast as 4 SS emblems.

That V6 needs to know what its messing with.

Once it sees the SS emblems it will slow down.

Trust me
