Question Trying To Find A Good Combo

I have a 2000 ws6 m6 and i would like to beef it up some. This is my 3rd LS1 car, but first tinkering other than power programmer. my car is bone stock right now and ready for a new start. I have heard that headers, cam, and a cat back are the main 3 componets to get the most bang for the buck. Is this true?? I would like to have a somewhat choppy idle, with the exhaust not annoying. I would like to go about 12.50 or so without power adder and without breaking the bank. I also need it for daily driver. thanks for the help it is appreciated. also what are the factory valve spring lift limitations??

Yep, cam and heads and headers is a good start, but most guys do all the bolt-ons first like TB, underdrive pulley,air lid,etc,The new AFR 205,head that is,looks good and the TR224 cam and some good 1.75 longtubes should work good.

first off go get yourself a lid, a catback, go get some headers(pacesetters are great bang for your buck headers, make sure to get the coated ones tho), maybe an ls6 intake, and make sure you get a pro 5.0 shifter. don't waste your money on a lou's short stick, just cut the handle on the 5.0. the 5.0 is my favorite mod so far, i recommend it to everyone w/an m6. after that, its all up to you. i'd go for maxin out the bolt-on's before goin for a cam install myself, but hey, its your car
