You have the Cruze for the plan! SC time!
HAHA! This was back in December or so, and honestly has barely even crossed my mind since. I think the modding bug was starting to itch a bit but has since cleared up with a few more simple bolt-ons.

I'm sure it'll eventually get a Procharger kit though :p

Do they make a cam that is mild enough that won't screw up drivability? Something similar in nature to like a DSM 264. Little bump in power, but no real noticeable drivability downfall?

Probably, but I'm not really interested in tearing into the engine since that opens a whole new can of worms for potential oil leaks, tuning issues, etc.

*edit*
Here is pretty much what you were referring to: https://texas-speed.com/p-4547-texas-speed-performance-lt1vvt-sv-camshaft-for-stock-torque-converters-mild-manual-applications.aspx

By doing a cam, I would lose the Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) functionality. Not a big deal to some, but I like it for roadtrips.

The biggest difference in this port job is the lack of any internal sharp edges or lips, which are likely what caused the whistling with the previous manifold.

Agreed, and you're welcome.

Next minor mod that I plan to order and stockpile for a boring weekend: C7 Z06 Z07 swaybar bushings. It turns out that all C7's with magnetic ride control (Z51 w/MRC option, Z06, & Z06 w/Z07 package) all share identical swaybars, with the Z07 getting stiffer bushings than the rest. The set of 4 should be right around $20-25 I think so I plan to get them ordered sooner or later since it should tigthen up the suspension by a little bit with minimal effect on ride quality. They're still made of rubber so there shouldn't be any additional noise.
