Looks good. I think your first mods should be headers and an Overkill tune. Also check out

Just a warning on the mods, unlike most of us you are under a warranty, don't do something to void it just yet. Headers and tune should be ok but there is no way that they will cover it after a smaller pulley.Congrats on the ride, I love my 04 Comp G and I expect that you will love yours too
You can't mod for 3 years with that warranty, those warranties likes to **** you in the ass if you do something. When I bought my 60k '04 comp-g, I blew an head gasket (Seriously) and it costed me 1840$ to rebuild the top end with an XP cam, was well worth it, and cheaper than a warranty!
Either ways enjoy the new ride, and since it's a 04, think about getting the intake gasket changed for an aluminium one! If not under warranty, you'll have to do it yourself after it!
Warranties usually don't cover **** anyways that it seems like it. I had one at one point in time and everytime something would break.. I get the whole it's not covered blah blah. Eventually said screw it and start modding.
Wow Red, why don't you tell him how you really feel about the extra $1650 he already spent on getting that warranty. LOLQuote:

You could always mod and then throw on stock parts if you need warranty work done.
On a bright note GP parts are rather cheap and they are a breeze to work on ;)
See, it wasn't that hard to be positive for the guy. Now let's talk him into a 2.7 pulley on 87 octane and see what happens.
Fair enough, I'll be sure to really look into it.Quote:

I'll be sure to call the Ford Dealership before I slap anything on.
Well bad news, they said if I were to put anything on that wasn't "Factory installed" then it would void the warranty if a bigger problem persists. Only loophole is say if I wanted a cold air intake, he said one time before someone had put one on and it sucked in water and go into the engine then they couldn't fix it. I could put it on, something happens, remove it, put the factory air intake on and they would never know.
im in the Niagara regionQuote:

Ah damn, little far away. From time to time I might be in Hamilton, but that's as far as I've gone.Quote:
