I sold a few things recently, and I figured I'd have a little fun with the car.
I have a 2010 non-pp sho with 75k miles. Bone stock other than wheels and tires.
I'm open to suggestions! What would you do?
Update: I ordered a tuner from Unleashed. 3 bar, thermostat, and plugs to be following in the up coming weeks.

Ok, I'll double check the fluids. Although, it was a certified pre-owned. According to the report I got when I purchased the vehicle that was already done.

I'm thinking about getting the SCT. It's currently $400, with a $50 rebate offer until 5-18.

Tune is the most fun but to enjoy it for a long time it's best to get the rest done unless you have an extended warranty

If you ordered it today, that means Torrie will probably send your tunes by Christmas...1984

That guy is insanely fast

I believe he said it's going to be shipped today. However, I'm waiting to get the 3 bar, thermostat, and plugs.

Dont rely on the CPO label. It is good but not that good. Basically it means they saw nothing major/obvious wrong with the car. There are ranges within which a component is considered within spec, but still be in bad shape for the long haul. You the owner should verify the condition yourself to be sure.

I've bought cars that were not certified when I walked in the dealership and magically were when I drove off same day with them. It does come with extended warranty which is what I was after.

Do you mean tuning company?

If so, Torrie uses SCT over at Unleashed Performance.

Now to be in fair comparison, I decided to go with Livernois for a second time. They emailed my tunes back in roughly 20 hours...which is fast no matter what.

Torrie on the other hand, responds within a hour...2 max. I firmly believe he has some kind of time and space altering device. To the point, he will respond to your email with the tunes requested before you finish clicking the "send" button.
