wsup peps...


just totaled my camaro 10 SS, so i decided to go purchase my second favorite vehicle the monte SS, its clean and has alot of potetinel. My first mods will be CAI and High flo cats, amd Halos, I loved them on camaro, and I know would look killer on here. So my questions are.........

where to get some decent Halos from, a must have.
want to do a big break upgrade (14 in rotors, big calipers) what are my options?
Tunner who provides a great tuner for a monte 06?
What CAI to go with? (performance and looks)

I know some of this stuff is coverd most likley throughout the fourm but i just want to get started..

Nevermind I now see that you are running with the LS4 5.3L V8 Monte SS.

You can find halos and such on e-bay, but be warned that the quality isn't the best and that the halos can go out.

For CAI, I would go with the ColdAirInductions.com kit. The K&N looks nice, but it's a major heat magnet.

I'm not big on the braking system, I honestly wouldn't worry about your brakes. The 7th Generation Montes got a good stock system.

I know a lot of people use Diablo hand-held tuners, other than that you are probably going to have to look for a good HPTuner and a friend.

For more modifications and fun, you should check out LS1tech.com They have a whole section about the FWD V8s. MC/Imp/GXP

Ah, I know the exit! Good to hear you weren't hurt, guess that says something about the build quality. BTW: Nice Chevelle, yours?
