I have a 17 SS 1LE I plan on sticking with the warranty. But my plan is to save a nice chunk of money on the side until the warranty is done. I will have the motor pulled and do all the upgrades in one shot. I want N/A power and around 500 to the wheels. I want to re create the past z28 and keep it all motor. Half of the reason is the power other half is sound. I think it's better financially to just pull it and do the work all at once

I also have a 2016 2ss I'm modding. Last year was Magnuson SC / ARH headers / ZL1 wheels & tires - and yes, I enjoyed what you said in this video about doing SC first. It was a fun sleeper. People would pull up next to me at a light not knowing I was sitting on 200hp more than advertised. This year, my car is at Lingenfelter getting cammed and everything that comes with - cai, ported intake, etc. I'm also adding a RPI blade spoiler as soon as the build is done. I like that you did a "is it worth it" video. Mods can be addictive and easy to get carried away with. Something to mention is that it's important to know when to say when. You see cars out there that were great looking at the dealer, then the owner got carried away and turned into a clown car. I think you - and hopefully I - knew when to stop. Just a little lesson to new modders out there.

Thank you for the content and owner perspective. I haven't even had my '18 SS 1LE 3 weeks yet and already thinking about future performance upgrades. I appreciate the comments on an N/A build. I will more than likely go that route after I pay off the majority of the car. Really looking forward to seeing a video of your car when you get it back from Cunningham Motorsports!

still not sure getting an exhaust over the stock NPP exhaust is really worth it... on my '17 SS 1LE the only mods I made is tinted windows, tinted back and front reflector, tinted 3rd brake light and installed a dash cam after a close call with a jackass cutting me on the highway.... so yeah I'm still stock. I do plan on getting performance intake in april, after storing the camaro for winter, and headers do tickle my mind also. but after going balls to the wall with my previous 240sx, I'm kinda content with my 1LE like she is right now and I do ramp up the milleage instead of moddind. ;)

I’m not versed in cams and specs as much as I should be, but a lot of Brian Tooley off the shelf stuff is great. Roto Fab is the only CAI I recommend. MSD Atomic is hit or miss pending the tune, but pair all you outlined with a ported set of heads as well and you have a nice power plant ready to rock.
