in general there is no "best" .. different mods are geared for different setups. it depends on the way the car is set up and the way the driver intends to use the car (street, strip, etc).

1.8 rockers will definatly help your cam out. with the flow potential of the lsx heads...why NOT go for more lift. figure about 10-12hp for the swap.

underdrive pulley is fairly easy to install and will net 5-10hp

with that cam and stock heads, the FAST intake is overkill...keep the LS6. or wait for the new intake to come out this spring.

you don't list an exhaust setup other than headers. a good free flowing system can free up good power. at least get a cutout.

Magnaflow mufflers dumped off of the collectors
Fast Toys 85mm air lid
GM 85mm Z06 MAF sensor
Ported 90mm LS2 intake

Powerbond 25% underdrive crank pulley
Custom ram air induction
Meziere drag electric water pump
MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor plug wires

anything that touches oil isn't considered a bolt on so rocker no and forthe price of rockers you can buy a cam and pushrods and almost some springs LOL

i have seen 16-19whp with ASP pulley and ported stock TB

What other bolt on you recommend???
1.8 Rocker arms??? probly not. go bigger cam insted caust for parts is the same almost.
Exhaust system??? cut out or cut OUTS
Intake manifold, biggar, fast 90/90??? or send your ls6 to tpis for a 90 300 and get a 90 tb 450. fast = $1400
Throttle volt booster???
ETC....

WICH ONES ARE THE BEST????????

just my thought on it, that cam is pritty small but dosent mean that it wont work well I'd probly go bigger though.

A stall is always a nice bolt on but hurts hp alittle if your looking for a dyno queen.

Dont forget that cheater cam and stock ported heads jk I read about the heads and cam car you clipped. Hey I did want to ask you though what do you think the gain was going to a ported ls2intake manifold over a ls6 or lets say fast 78-90mm? I always wondered why you did that I assume since its not expensive and still flows good.
Thanks man

Haha, If I had heads and cam, they would be crying that it has a 454 LSX in it too.

My ported LS2 out flows an out of the box Fast 90mm and costs about $500 less. I went roughly .15-.2 faster with it vs the LS6 and ported stock tb.

Yeah I am holding off on the 10 point until I break the record. After that I will get one put in; they are waiting on me at the shop.

I would be interested in the Ram Air. It's bigger than mine? PM me so we can discuss.
