He already has the ls6 intake. His car is an 01.

I would get a lid, full exhaust, and a ported throttle body

Port the throttlebody yourself, buy a lid and headers or a cutout.

Intake and Exhaust with a decent cam. You will have 380+ with those 3 alone.

The lid would be my first investment. I did not think it would make that much of a diff. I was way wrong on that. It make a world of diff and throlle response is great now.

They say more in-more out. You will need some kind of exhaust. Then get a tune. It probalby will not you to 60 hp, but you will notice a big difference.
