Chevy SS Mods, Performance Upgrades & Gallery

The Chevy SS is a short-running muscle car marketed for only 4 years in the mid-2010s. The model was a rebadged version of the Holden Comodore produced and marketed in Australia for much longer time in different versions. The Australian sibling employed potent V6 and V8 engines with range-topping one churning out 408 hp, while the American variant received only the largest V8 power unit with even higher output of 415 hp. However, despite such a solid power output, the vehicle looks like a regular sedan or station wagon, that’s why it is considered a sleeper. Quite a solid list of features was offered by the SS along with excellent performance, but only less than 13,000 units were sold in the U.S.

Why modify your Chevy SS?

Whatever version of the Chevy SS you own, it surely delivers at least solid performance and looks excellent from the factory. But there is always room for improvement – either to push performance even further, add some personal touch or increase the level of comfort. Especially, if you own some rare version, you can make it totally unique. Three main types of modifications are performance, exterior and interior upgrades. As the name implies, performance ones will help you push your SS to the limits, exterior mods will make it look special, while exterior upgrades will add comfort and convenience to your regular driving.

What are performance mods / Common Performance mods

Simply speaking, performance modifications are aimed to make your car faster or more powerful. They mainly include engine tuning but can also affect other systems of your SS. Today, the range of upgrades you can do is virtually countless, from almost invisible from the outside performance chips up to installing a more robust turbo or supercharger. You can make your vehicle run faster, deliver more revs, respond faster and more accurately, sound louder, and much more. The range of mods is huge, but take a look at some of the most common ones.

  • Air intakes
    A quite straightforward modification, it can also improve efficiency of the vehicle along with a throttle response. Compared to other engine upgrades, installing aftermarket air intakes is a more budget-friendly way of upgrade and it will still make a notable difference.
  • Turbocharger/superchargers
    In case you want some solid power enhancement, take a look at intercoolers – turbochargers and superchargers. They will increase performance of your four-wheeled friend significantly, but both installing such a unit or upgrading your existing one will lead to some serious expenses.
  • Performance Exhausts
    Upgrading the exhaust, you’ll kill two birds with one stone. First of all, the sound of your SS will be significantly better coming to a whole new level. Plus, thanks to different bends, gas will be better removed from the system resulting in lower backpressure and hence better performance.
  • Performance tuners/chips
    Current-time vehicles depend on computer systems more than even before. It not only makes driving easier and more comfortable, but also provides an opportunity to upgrade your vehicle in one more way.
