Default What mod is next?

Only mods done are the ones in my sig. Car is a weekend toy for me that I want to keep driveable on the street...havent ever had it out to the track and due to lack of time probably never will. I am looking for modifications that will increase power in the lower rpm ranges and make the car "snappier" for driving around town

1. Headers
2. Ram air kit
3. SFC's
4. Underdrive pulley
5. 12 bolt and gears
6. LS6 manifold & ported TB or FAST 90/90 combo

Then the question would be: Do you want to stay N/A (all motor) or do you want to go FI (forced induction)? If N/A, heads & cam. If FI, then get a Procharger. That's my 2 cents.

No, but you'll need a tune to correct the speedo.
