GM Stage 2 ... what now?

Im going to do some upgrades but im not sure what to get ... I was thinking header/dp/exhuast maybe a H/E and a 2.9 don't know if I want to get 60's not sure what my dealer would think if I brang it in for warranty work ... and from what I read I would have to get a tune anyways and I dont think anyone around here really does them. Not really sure where to go from here ... 2 guys I know from around here put on intakes and they ended up sucking water and ruining their sensors so im not going to get one. Any suggestions?

Do a k&n drop in,get the gmpp catback,and get the gmpp header. All this wont void your warrenty.The catback alone will give you 12 whp.

Should I get a different DP , a highflow cat or delete cat? Im guessing the stock DP will bolt up to the header and exhaust?

Do you drive your car in the winter? If so, what boost levels are you running in the colder weather? Any stage kits installed?

i have never driven my car in winter. (but just in case, i have a set of b/n studded grips on steelies if called for). its an 06 s/c, and has 17,605 kms on it. i retune for fall, cause boost rises, and fuel leans out. i have a mid legnth header, and high flow catted dp. i ran the gmpp for about 1000 kms. stage 2 plus. and scott allen is correct. gm hates intakes and other mods.

So its probaly not even worth buying off a site by the time I pay for duties and w.e? Did they make any changes to the header since you bought it?
