Best Performance Upgrade

I am wondering what the first thing you would do to upgrade the 10' Camaro.
I am wondering based on Cost and affect on the warranty, what will give you the most power right away?

I saw a bolt-on supercharger for 5g's that adds about 150 hp, what would this do to the powertrain warranty though? How much will you gain from getting a performance chip, or a better exhaust?

From what people are complaining about, I would think a tune would be the first thing to get. You probably can't beat it's bang for the buck.

You could run in to possible warranty issues if the checksum in the VCM doesn't match stock.

Don't want to get folks riled up as what you want to do with your own vehicle is your own business and between the owner and the feds...

As an example, turn off cat over temp, go lean and hot, turn the cat into a "brick", you'll likely be picking up the tab for the bad cat.

A lot of folks have grenaded diesels with remapping.

You want to play, you have to pay.

Warranties are to back the vehicle as designed, not as modified.

I'm all for fun, just making a little food for thought suggestion.

Do I own a modded vehicle? Absolutely. I'm also prepared to pay all the tab.

i'd go with tires as some grippy tires would make a difference and not void the warranty.
