I bought my car last july and Im in the process of modding it. Its in storage right now so Im trying to figure out what to do with it when it comes out in the spring. Here is what I bought already or will buy:

1. TSP lid and bellows (bought it)
2. Magnaflow exhaust (will buy)
3. FTRA or SSRA (will buy)

For my next mod I was thinking of getting the Predator PCM tuner. Do you guys think this it a good next mod after I finish the above? Or should I go with something else?

ASP pulley...

I wouldn't do a pulley. Too much money for little gain and it's a PITA IMO to install. Go with headers or do a cam if you're really interested in making your car fast. Cam swaps are fun and they are pretty easy.

Get a good pair of longtube headers

I vote for some good ol' headers....maybe some suspension stuff?

headers then 1.85:1 rockers

I have a M6, I was thinking headers. How much would installation cost approx. if I were to have someone else do it? I heard they can be a real bitch to do yourself

Depends on how familiar the shop is with installing headers, also how familiar they are with the LS1. Figure anywhere from $300-$500 bucks.

you would see more from headers than you would from ssra or ftra and predator. And dont be skerd, install them yourself man.

I would go with long tube headers,then heads and cam, @ that point upgrade your rear to a 12 bolt and 4.10 gears

Unit: You were kidding about the pulley being hard to install, right? 7-10rwhp and an engine that revs a little quicker for under $200 and a 2 hour (tops!) install? Seems like a sure bet to me...
Long tubes are a great idea and can be done in a garage with basic hand tools. Even without tuning you're sure to get about 15+rwhp depending on the rest of your exhaust.
An LS6 intake is another reasonably cheap and easy mod worth around 10rwhp depending upon application...

you definitly want to go with a set of 373's, 2800 stall, 224-224-112 cam, jantzer ported tb,KOOKS HEADERS,corsa exhaust, and most of all'''''''dyno tuning. forget the programmer,they can add or delete anything when they tune. cost for tune'''around4to500.00 denaros.just remember your car is like an escort;;;you can be a cheap *** and pay 100.00 for a nasty fatchick that just lays there or you can spend 500.00 on a hot chick thats going to perform.!! good luck man.

M6 - long tubes and/or 4.10s (if you don't plan on needing a 12-bolt later on.)

The only thing is that in Cleveland I have to get my car emissions tested. Wouldn't headers possibly cause me to fail?

cummon unit, i removed the old pulley and installed the new one in 30 minutes on ramps. add another 10 min for the oil change.

whitepheonix get some headers

Get some hooker long tubes. Easy to install, just time consuming. Get someone to help and it will all be good.
