The best performance mod they made was the two extra cylinders, it makes a huge difference, but I don't think anyone has a retro kit yet. I kid, I kid. I think the direct injection makes it much more difficult to mod, but I could be wrong.

That is one of the reasons why i traded my LT for an SS. Especially they make less performance parts for the LFX than the LLT. Was going to do the super charged route but decided to go the SS route. V8 engine sounds better especially cammed and there are tons more performance mods for the V8 than the V6. Good luck!

Brembos won't really make a big difference on the first stop. Compare SS to LS/LT in magazine tests. Their value comes from heat dissipation and translates to fade resistance in multiple uses, such as on a road course or autocross.
Just my opinion, of course. John B.
