+1 for longtubes since you cant do the stall.

or maybe do ls6 intake and ported throttle body with a lid. should be around 500 bucks.

Do longtubes. If money is an issue, then try the ebay stainless headers.

I live in Cali and I have LTs, it pays to know the right people.

Headers and a O/R Y will help.

If I had to start from stock again, I would have purchased a stall. The auto leaves a lot to be desired.....

And forget LPP I have found Hooker headers stainless for 499 shipped NEW, cheaper and better quality, LPP are assembled by SSAutochrome, search that in the import community, you will have a different feeling about LPP products....

Don't ask me this. I did most of the under $500 mods and none of them maybe the entire group of mods together were worth it.

Nitrous, heads, cam

Far ahead than the simple bolt-ons

High stall converter and drag radials will make the most dramatic difference for the buck.
