any good 2.4 ss performance upgrades out there

i want to find some really good upgrades for my 2.4 ss sedan, im bout to buy the air intake, soon as i find one good enough, but i want it to go faster, the turbo goin have to wait, not spending that much right now, all the stage upgrades i find is for the ss/sc only, is there any stage kits out there for mine?

an intake is a good start. if you want, you could go with an exhaust.

depends on what you're looking for, horsepower gains or torque gains.

megan creates a REALLY good exhaust for a pretty low price.

No stage kits. A lot of people are doing full exhausts but if you are serious about truboing a header will be wasted money. If you are auto the B&M shift plus will help with shifting, and for the manual a TWM short shifter kicks serious ass.

I would go with some tires that are wider to help reduce understeer and a rear sway bar as well. Search button is your friend...GMPP cat back is nice, and the Cobalt Addiction header is cheap and doesn't have bad gains and ZZP makes a midlength header/DP combo.

Then there's tuning, the 2.4L is support by HPtuners so you can get a dyno tune

Hurst doesn't make one that fits our cars.
