Default What's my next step?
Currently have a lid, long tubes and duals. I'm thinking intake/tb but appreciate suggestions. 6 speed stock bilstein for now. Current budget of around 1500. Ultimate goal of mid 12s without nitrous. Thanks

A cam and drag radials will do it

you should be running mid 12s with your current mod list.

Will I get much out of a cam with the stock LS1 intake still on?

Yes you definitely will, but a good intake will help with that last 15-20 hp

you should always go with boltons before internal upgrades to get the most out of your setup.
