2013 2SS/RS with npp

I have a new '13 vert
Npp exhaust
CAI intake.
Just about to order the new tri y headers from pfadt.
Going to get a tune as well.

Question is this,
Is there any other mod I should do at the same time to maximize performance?
I don't race, but I like to feel power
Suggestions?

I'm not real sure about a cam.
My hot rod has a lumpy cam, I don't know about it in my new ss.....

What model is good for city driving and performance?

I like the fuse in
I try to sneak away when my kid is asleep sometimes
Although the header will probably make it so he wakes up easier

I don't want to rock like an old whore in the cabin either so I think the night fury is out :(
I guess I have to talk with the shop and see what they say about a cam.
Whether I can get some more hp and keep comfort in the car too.

with adding a headers sure u'll feel good power..

after this there is cam , supercharge , turbo charge.. personally i think adding a (good) CAI and headers are enough to feel a change for driving around and if i want more power i'll sell my camaro and go for ZL1 or Z/28 or mybe new corvette..

higher gears is the easiest way to be "faster for less" will cut 5-10mph off your top speed but thats not too big of a deal for most people.

I have a '13 with the NPP exhaust. Just did Intake and headers with the fuse pull. Pretty dn loud now. May put the fuse back in lol. Mine dyno'd 420 to the wheels. You can def feel the power difference. An LMR cam will be my next upgrade.

If my mechanic doesn't get back to me Tomorrow I'll just order the headers myself

Get a CNC ported throttle body and you'll feel instant giddy up at the peddle. Most get VMAX, I got Modern Muscle's. The differnce on the inside is that the factory's looks like a cement mixer while the CNC ported looks like polished honey comb. Really easy install 15 mins tops.

Good point! I added a vmax when I did my cai. Was like a 2min job since the intake was off. The throttle responce alone was worth it!
