What performance mods are there out for the 4.2?

Obviously theres no shortage of mods for the biturbo, but i havent heard of many performance options for the 4.2. Are there even any really?

right now I think it is chip only

Which nets you approximately squat increase in performance. Something like 10HP. It's more than zero but I would say disappointing.

Eibach is going to start producing (en masse) suspension mods sometime soon, so at least that can be improved.

Those who bought the GIAC chips (engine and tip) said...

That, in retrospect, they'd consider just getting the tip chip.

Me, I'll hold off on the tip chip too, because my stock tranny shifts nicely.
