uh anything.. Although the engine isn't too old not a lot has come out.. but you can do pretty much anything.. CAI is what I'd do first along with an exhuast.. thas what I've done so far.. :D

yeah the after market for this motor is going to be HUGE so keep your eyes open as more stuff comes out there are a few things out now (pnp heads, header, cai, cams, race block) turbo and supercharger should be comming soon... like stated above getting the motor to breath is a great place to start (CAI, cat-back, header)

Lightened crank pulley from High Rev or RSM.

Here's my mod list to date:

Engine Mods:
Intake & 62mm TB
Catback/Hiflow Resonator & Dynomax Super Turbo
B&M Short Throw Shifter
Full P&P
Port Matched to Exhaust
5 angle vale job
1mm oversized valves
Custom Valves (smoothed valve heads for increased air flow)
Oversized Valve Seats (obviousley)
Heavy Duty valve springs, retainers & locks
Custom Ground Camshafts
GM Adjustable Cam Gears

Suspension Mods:
KYB GR2 all around
Next Level Rear Sway Bar
Eibach Pro Kit
Enkei RSV w/225/40/18x7 35mm offset
Bridgestone Fuzion’s

I still have to get to a dyno to dial in more hp. My intake cam is advanced and exhaust is a zero. I can't remember why we set it up like that but I should be sorting it out soon.
There are some power gains but that exhaust cam is closing things up to early.
I also am looking into the RSM header and their underdrive pulley. So yes, there are tons of things you can do to beef up your Ecotec. Hang around the j-body sites, you'll find more info there than around here. Hope that helps.
:D
