Hi I just got a my 2017 SHO a couple of months ago and I love it!

I have a couple of questions if anyone feels like helping out a newbie:
1. Is there a a computer upgrade or replacement out there. The factory one seems a bit wonky. I know I could replace the computer in my 2010 suburban, not sure if there are replacements for the SHO.

2. I want to start making some exterior and performance upgrades. Besides probably upgrade brakes and air filter, where or what path would be recommended to start out on?

3. With #2 being said, I do not have a automotive garage, skills, or mind so I am looking for a shop in the upper Midwest (Mpls/St. Paul or western WI) if anyone has any recommendations.

Thanks!
Rob

I'm up early this morning after the Daytona race so here goes....

Computer flash/power package- www.ghtuning.com

Intercooler - Gearhead once back in stock

PPE catted downpipes

Intake - EPP is better than Airaid but Airaid is a good starting place.

XDI fuel pump

Gearhead Turbos

In-tank fuel pump

In that order....

I have been interested in your opinion on this Matt. You would suggest all those mods while maintaining the factory air box? And if not, at which point would you recommend upgrading to a CAI?

Thanks in advance for any input you may have on the subject.

Thanks again.
So the EPP intake you believe, dollar wise, at that point of a build is the place to spend your money?

We don't replace the computer on our cars, we apply custom tuning files, or firmware upgrades, to the tune to allow it to run more efficiently and beyond factory specification.

We carry most Ecoboost products as well as custom tuning on our website for easy one stop shopping. We offer everything but the Gearhead items Matt mentioned above.

If you are going to get more serious with turbos and such down the road get the EPP.
