ls6 intake 10-15 the tb-3-5 the ud pulley 5-8 the rest are kind of negligable though they may make the car run better...plug and wires that is..things like the maf are a waste and wont do much and may give you problems...just keep the stock maf. the coils are a tad wasteful and wont gain you much. take the money you save on the coils and maf and get a lid/exhaust or headers you will get more for your money.

Dont buy the SLP 85mm MAF. Its worthless. And its harder to tune with that on there. Second with those mods you will probably be at 315 rwhp. Somewhere around that number is realistic.

Your not going to gain anything from the MSD Blaster coils. So forget those and use that money for long tubes. If you do long tubes you will be around 330 HP.

Of everything you listed you will only see gains from these 4 things:

-ls6 intake
-slp bellow
-ported tb
-slp ud

Should be about 25hp increase.

You will NOT certainly gain anything with SLP bellow.

Keep the coils stock, and MAF stock. NGK iridiums is better than platinums for longevity.

0.01hp is still a gain, I took fluid mechanics and a smooth tube is going to flow better than a ribbed tube.

you can get a mail order tune from frost,but that mite take longer for you.you could get HPtuners and tune it your self. if you can get a ls6 top end go for it.you can polish your TB your self.get a custom cam they don't cost too much more and will do what you want it to do.talk to Patrick-G or Predator-Z for cam help.

do these list

under drive pulley
ported tb
ls6 Intake
ls6 heads
Cheater V3 cam (better then ls6 and works great with stock exhaust)
cutout
tune

These you don't have to but I would
slp bellow
slp thermostat
make car lighter, there is a lot of weight that can be removed from these cars and still look stock.

I recently have had installed, my car already has the ls6 intake thats supposed to be better, apparently some fbodies have the ls6 engine too from factory?

slp mass air flow sensor
slp lid
slp bellow
ported tb

and I notice a good difference, its not huge but its there

it is a slight bit louder from better flow, runs smoother, idles a little better and has better throttle response

picks up on the highway a lot better


I havent gotten the cold air intake put on yet, plan on getting headers and a cam with tune soon. Have plans for full suspension with slp subframe, bolt on.
