check out americanperformanceofcolorado.com.... there is a banner at the top of the screen for them. They sell cold air intakes, upper and lower manifolds, ported throttle bodies, among other stuff. RSM makes some performance stuff as well, and they sell a S/C kit I believe. Also, S&S and TheOtherGuys make headers for us. DHP is working on a custom computer tune, and ASE chips already has one.

Wait, what engine do you have?

If you have a 2002 or newer I'd most likely say you have the 2.2L ECOTEC, which is a good engine and it's getting a lot of GM-backed performance parts, which is a very good thing... check out this link to go to GM Performance Parts' home page and browse parts and then late model 4 cylinder... it's expensive though but horsepower costs money keep that in mind...

You might also have the 6 cylinder, which I'm sorry to say has the smallest aftermarket of all the engines... beyond intakes and exhaust mods and some general machining work mentioned in above posts there isnt a whole lot of stuff for them...
