Rally Build: 2020 Sonic RS. What next?

[VanillaCreamDawson]

So far I still have a pretty stock Sonic RS. I've given it a full dual pipe ZZ Performance exhaust, which kicks ass, but now it needs some bite with it's bark.

I've posted pictures of the rally look I'm going for on my profile, here's the link: http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/members/vanillacreamdawson.26675/

What mods would you all recommend for a rally build? I definitely need more torque to start with...

Thanks.

I would start with the ZZP Stage 1 Kit (cold air intake, downpipe, and a tune). This is a great entry point for adding engine performance to your car. It will by far give you the biggest bang for your buck. Next depends on your budget. You can either buy or port the plastic intake manifold yourself, larger fuel injectors (42# for stock turbo, 60# for larger turbos), larger turbo, full exhaust. ZZP has a custom turbo setup not yet available for public but hopefully soon once they do enough R&D. Currently their car is making just over 400 hp and 11.5 in the quarter mile at 120mph I believe.

Woah! Yeah I'm definitely sticking with ZZP. I like the suggestion for a tune and a downpipe to complete Stage 1. I just got their cold air intake and I'm in love with it's sound already.

I've thought about a sway bar before, my car still has a stock suspension though, so I probably wouldn't get one until I stanced it.
