It boggles my mind how little faith camaro owners must have in their cars build quality. Warranty seems to be the number one thought for many. I guess just appearance mods then. Get the calipers painted, clear bra the high risk areas, maybe a carbon splitter.

Your car looks very sharp.

NPP is factory equipment on the ZL1 - that wouldn't be considered a mod.

I am a new LS owner and have never been down this road before. If I choose to move forward and ignore the warranty, would the JRE 125whp package be a choice investment?

Thanks btw.., love this thing!!!

trust is earned, takes time to know you are not making a mistake.
Honestly CoveyZl1 check out the post on here to do the free boost modification. you can pick up around 1-3 lbs of boost in 10 minutes for free. Just a simply small adjustment you can do yourself with a 10mm wrench.

Read about the boost leak... Is there a reason it was originally designed like this... Seems like a pretty common adjustment

Ahhh - hard to get that from just listing NPP. I did the same but to me I don't really think of it as a mod as all it does is keep the flaps open full time instead of only on WOT.

Actually, I was like you when I first bought mine in Feb this year....Then I caved after I hit 3000 miles, I added all the mods in my sig below and it really woke the car up. You won't be disappointed when/if you choose to go this route.

Is it difficult to maintain traction at these hp ratings? I read that headers w/ stock exhaust really open up the sound of it... Considering this for my next mod... This will however require a tune therefore walking away from my warranty... Long sigh...

Yes, I had to ditch the stock GY's on the rear and went to the Nitto NT05 315's - big difference in traction. This is my daily driver, so I did have to compromise a bit as I originally was looking at the MT ET Street Radials but I had to consider getting caught in the rain.

Only if it was out of adjustment to begin with. I checked and adjusted mine. Zero difference in boost measured with HPTuners.
