Default 2003 Cavalier

This'll be my first thread
OK my best friends got a 03' Cavalier and its an automatic{he couldnt get a stick} and his Birhtday is coming up on June 30th, so any suggestions for a quick bolt on? I was thinking of getting him a surge performance chip to help boost that Stock Cavi to the max, is that a good idea?

any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Peace,
Sazabi

wow, way to support your fellow chevy owner
I had a turbo ecotec
-there aren't any legitimate "chips" for that car only the resistor they sell on ebay
-intake would be the best bang for your buck

Waht ^^ said. The only way thats proven reliable to tune the J body ECU is a product called HP Tuners. An intake is always a good first step, but ecotecs like a good header too.
