Hi, I'm new to this forum.... I recently purchased a 2007 2.4 Solstice and had the dealer install the cat back exhaust and high flow air breather. I like the performance of the car but it needs more whoomph. EWhat would be the next logical step for me to take. I am not mechanically inclined and would need a performance shop to do the installations.
Thanks,
Mark

DDM Supercharger kit

or

Turbocharger kit, pick your vendor

or

V8 conversion, pick your vendor

Go to the vendor section and start reading about the various things you can do to the car.

If you don't want as much power as above, then look at getting your ECM tuned. Once again several vendors.

An ECM tune, like Critterman suggests, is fairly economical. You can also add headers and a high flow CAT. If you're thinking of getting a supercharger or turbo later, then be aware that the headers and tune may not be compatible. You need to figure out your budget and set a timeline in place for doing the mods. You probably don't want to spend $300 to $400 on a tune and $700 on headers, only to find out 6 months later, that they won't work with the supercharger you want.
