Re: CZ28.com Speical Edition POLL-Engine Modification
Although I think we are getting way beyond the bounds of realistic, I would love to see ported (or high flow) heads and headers (for that matter a whole upgraded valve train, but I believe that is unrealistic).

Re: CZ28.com Speical Edition POLL-Engine Modification
most of those "options" would render the car TOO expensive.. Keep it light on mod and a tad of tasteful decoration/customization and I think it to be more "realistic".

I understand it is getting a bit unrealistic. However, if everyone wants an Intake or something, Jason can look into the cost and the issues with the vehicles warranty.

Re: CZ28.com Speical Edition POLL-Engine Modification
If this is to be an early 2009 release, there wont be too many aftermarket parts out there like headers and cold-air kits. Personally, I'd wait on substantial engine mods and do them myself. At the very most, I'd like to see headers and a cat-back. *maybe* an engine cover, but again, it'll be interesting to see what, if any, is available for the first model year.

Re: CZ28.com Speical Edition POLL-Engine Modification
I voted for CAI and "Other". Here's why:
- 4th-gen SS/WS6 cars had upgraded air intakes, so we already know that's feasible
.
- I'd "like" to vote for headers, but guarantee you they won't be 50-state emissions legal, so the car can't be sold that way, so that WON'T be an option
.
- cat-back exhaust should be on the list, and again, it was previously an upgradable item, and could be again
.
- "LS7" or something like it ..... like the GMMG ZL1's ..... that's more "realistic" than piecing together something like rockers, or a crank, or a throttle body. Basically, a complete engine upgrade to a "top dog" enthusiast-oriented motor
. At the end of the day, it would be easier to drop in a complete engine than to send <insert aftermarket company here> a built car, and tell them to tear apart the engine to install a couple of "upgrade" components

Re: CZ28.com Speical Edition POLL-Engine Modification
I REALLY want to see GM support perf upgrades w/outvioding the warr. Even items such as: headers,"hot" cam,gears. Let us ALL not forget about the DOD(or whatever they are calling it). It seems that has been forgotten about.
