New guy from SoCal

SgtKilroy · 09-09-2011, 12:54 AM

Hey guys! Just bought a 2011 Camaro SS 6.2L manual trans in the flavor of inferno orange and I have to say, I've never driven a vehicle that made me smile all the way home, but this one does! The plans for the vehicle are a home made CAI and exhaust, and maybe some afterburner taillights. Home made headers are a possibility, but we'll see. I'll be staying away from the mods that void warranties since I have a good one for once. But... once that runs out I'm thinking a supercharger, cam and EFI Live dyno tune at the least.
I do have a couple newb questions though. Any advice on break in procedures, any basic DIY mods I should do, and any recalls I should look out for?
As far as myself, my name is James and I'm a Marine infantry Sergeant stationed in SoCal. My other ride is an 05 Duramax and I do my own metal fabrication in my spare time.
That's about it, I guess. I hope to learn a lot from yall!
