Take it or leave it... it's up to you. Read the other posts too because Darin talks about mods as well.

2. Most performance mods are fine to put on right away, however, you should talk to your dealer to find out which ones are likely to cause warranty issues (headers, tuners, superchargers...). I would start with a CAI and a catback. 3. If you're not worried about damage to your car or the warranty, drive it as hard and fast as you want and install all the mods you want! Seriously though, I would follow what the owners manual says and check with your dealer about mods before adding any (mods are also a big point of conjecture and people have lots and lots of opinions about the whole topic).

I am going with a more aggressive break in. I won't totally trash it, but I will be hard for the first few hundred. As for mods, I am putting on a cat back, shorty headers and CAI. I will be waiting a couple of months first. This is more for timing for better weather, but if there something wrong with the drivetrain it will usually surface quickly so I can if taken care of before any aftermarket stuff gets put on.
