LT's hands down. How do you like them 4.10's? I want to swap mine out in my WS6 and throw a set of GM 4.10's in.

Theres always more power that can be found with a tune.... It may not be alot, but you will find more.

LTs with lm1 is loud. very loud. i had it on my 04 gto and it screamed. i switched to a magnaflow catback and actually gained hp and tq and it sounded much better. i have LTs to true duals dumped before the axle with bullet mufflers and its loud but not bad at all. all together i have 650 into the entire exhaust. definitely worth it

I wouldn't do it.

No one has mentioned the spray yet...

Ported throttle body is definitely worth the price. If you decide to go with a tune, there is a guy in the sponsors section doing mail order tunes for $50+shipping right now. You can't beat that, and you would be fine with just mild bolt-ons.
