Default What Mods do you recommend...

..for my 2007 Impala SS? There is not much out there, if you ask me, and I have never really gotten too deep in to modding. I was taught how to maintain a car, but not so much how to make it go faster. So far I have the typical noob mods (CAI, mufflers swap, custom tune) but would like a little something extra.

Of course I could throw on a turbo or SC, but I am also on a budget.

Maybe any suggested improvements to the exhaust set up? Or something that would enhance my intake system? I dont think there are any headers out there and even if they were I doubt theyd be good for a Daily Driver (this engine runs pretty hot already).

So what do you guys think? Are there any "MUST DO" mods for my LS4 that im missing?

I would start with a 6" lift kit, some 35's and a gear change. LOL
Oh yeah, it's a car.

No! Four link the rear or do a strait axle swap.

If only I had the time. lol

I say if you want to do some real performance mods, you may want to start by going with a cooler stat, MSD or similar ignition, and slightly bigger cams.

What does MSD ignition do?

I was looking into a CAM for the LS4 engine but the ratio was like 1.9 or something similar... Do you forsee any issues with using that for a daily driver that sees about 60 miles of driving a day? I dont know much about CAMS but I would think 1.9 is a pretty extreme ratio... but again Im a noob with this stuff.
