Has anyone else noticed how much the 2010 V6 is an afterthought with parts? Just sayin'
Anyway, after reading many posts and asking many questions here's my list of upgrades suggested by the masses, plus comments and ballpark part cost. It might be helpful to those new to upgrading - and those who are veterans might have opinion too
Also, does anyone know where to pick up 8.8" rear end that would fit a 2010 V6?

- Tune - it's the first thing regardless. I went American Muscle ($600)
- V8 exhaust (Newtakeoff) or other better exhaust system - unless you're going all out, a full dual system will not allow enough back pressure and may hurt performance. Could weld duals to the existing pipe after the catalyst ($200)
- CAI - I don't think it makes that MUCH of a difference; seems more for show. Went JLT - i had no other option from AM. ($200)
- Gears - 3.73 for a daily driver; 4.10 for racing ($300)
- 8.8" Rear end - to handle the power - more of an insurance against breaking thing ($??)
- Tru-Trac (not a T-LOC). T-Locs have clutches which wear out. Anyone have experience of where to get a Tru-track, or of T-LOCs? ($??)
- Bigger Brake pads - V8 should suffice ($200)
- Springs / Lowering - Helps reduce roll and improve handling; also need a bump steer kit- http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach-prosystem-0510v6.html http://www.americanmuscle.com/steeda-2005-bumpsteer-kit.html ($1000)
