Hypertech is a waste. There's no need for a catback since you mentioned a cutout. The LS6 intake doesn't do too much for stock heads/cam ls1's. Save your money there. A few minor suspension mods will help get the power to the ground. Maybe remove the front sway bar when you're going to the track. Nitrous is the best bang for the buck mod if you're looking to go in that direction.

I wish my grandmother was cool and had an SS <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Looks like you've named everything that bolts on and gives you more power...
