Tuning a Lumina SS coupe (aka Pontiac GTO, VX/HSV MONARO)
 

I need some help here guys...I have a 2006 Chevy Lumina SS coupe (branded as Chevy here in Mid East by GM)

I want to upgrade my exhaust and engine (LS1) but I can only do it with GM parts if I want to keep my warranty...which I do.

Can someone tell me of a site or a shop where I can get upgrades made by GM (if they are at all??)

Thanks a lot.

p.s. for 2006 in the mideast they kept the LS1 but modified the exhaust a bit to up output to 350bhp

Humaid.
This car has so much potential.. But if you are afraid of warranty then just don't upgrade at all.. Because what ever you do how small it is they will tell you that this caused the problem.. So Do what I do and just forget the warranty and do what ever you want to do with it.. If I have a Lumina SS these are the mods I would do personally.

1- Change it to manual gear.. ( AAT Garage in Sharjah can do the conversion )
2- Install a bad ass headers and exhaust ( Fox Exhaust )
3- Install a supercharger. Vortec ( AAT installation and you can order it your self )
4- Upgrade the brakes to either brembo or Stop tech
5- Buy new set of tires every week.. :mrgreen:

my mods would be drop in a LS7 :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Send your car to MTI in Houston and get the 600hp 455ci upgrade... case closed. ;)

There are some Twin Turbo Monaros here that get over 1000hp and have to be tuned down to 800hp 8)

TT LSx's are a dime a dozen here, but none of em have the nostalgia of a 600hp N/A setup ;)
