2002 SS M6, slp flowpac, 85 mm MAF, ported TB, UD pulleys, pacesetter LT's and catted y from TSP, LM1 exhaust...

Anything I can do for more getup that would make sense? Other than gears or a cam?

Go with the Fast 102mm intake manifold and Fast big mouth throttle body. Amazing hp gain and response!

Waste of money.

Can you elaborate?

He already has an LS6. The $/hp ratio at this point makes it a bad mod IMO.

Your basically at the end of the "Bolt on" route. There are things that you can do and IMO I think it does make sense here are a few Ideas....

- Intake setup: IF your looking for every drop of HP and money is not a huge issue, you could look at a FAST setup. I have had them and went from a LS6 to a 90/90 (ported) and back to a LS6. Simply my cam and stock heads just did not need it. Spent the money on race rims. Also I am not a fan of larger then stock MAF's as it can mess with tuning.

- Rockers: It is widely known that the stock rockers are the lightest and most desirable set up that you get from the begining. Having the needles puke out sucks but they now offer a trunion upgrade. Some people have go further and increased the ratio to get some more lift out of the cam. It works now but when you do go for a cam, it may require you to go backwards or get a cam that puts you at a close PTV clearence

- Cyl Heads: Now this maybe beyond cam and gears but a good set of heads that have been milled, filled with cut down LS3 valves and a good spring can do you wonders. HP vs $ spent the cam and gears are better but again something you can do on a stock cam and you should see an improvement.

- Weight Reduction: Very much over looked as it is as much about adding power then it is removing weight. It all effects the Weight to HP ratio and anything to help that # to get closer to a 1 : 1 is a good improvement.

- Nitrous: Don't knock it, a good, properly set up kit with some tuning can make a large improvement for not too much money and the kit does not need to be jetted to the moon. A solid 100 shot will make your day.

- Tuning: This is something you do generally when you put a cam in but from my personal exp, if you have not had ANY fuel adjustment in your tune, then I am willing to bet you have knock retard being measured and its def. slowing you down. On my 2002, a SLP flopac, Dynatech SuperMaxx (catted Y) and a Corsa made 325 RWHP. Did a bolt on dyno tune and it made 355 RWHP.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses guys!

I think I will stay away from a new IM though. For $800+ I'd want to get a little more than 15 horses give or take....Especially if I'll need a new tune anyway I would just get a cam.

Car is Dynotuned already though (I should have said that sorry) and made 342hp/360tq.

Would it be worth it to get Heads with no cam? From a price perspective better to do cam without heads than the other way around?

And new rockers, what's that worth 15 hp maybe? I guess my real questions is I want to do the best price/hp gain or price/what's it worth gain (excluding suspension which I have some plans for)

Thanks again

I agree... However, if he doesn't want a cam I don't see him wanting heads. For whatever reason, thats the way that works.

He could have around 5-600$ in an intake setup and pick up close to 10Rwhp.

At this stage, besides heads or cam, thats about the biggest gain he is going to see by adding another part.

I'm in the same boat as you.. I just don't know what else to do to my car lol

Consider these:
1) x-pipe w/ dual cutouts setup, you could free up a few ponies (I'd go with dumps)
2) Suspension!! LCA, PHB, Tq Arm, Shocks & Springz (Consider chromoly)
3) Upgrade heads your heads, budget: ls6 243 heads, then get em ported later / no budget: afr/patriot/trick flow heads, and retune.
4) Fan switch
5) Nitrous.. a good ol 100-150 shot will do u wonders
6) badass clutch
7) 4.10 gears
8) fluid exchange + plugs/wires (eh tune up lol)
9) get rid of ur cats

Gears and a dyno tune.

I wouldn't get just heads and no cam. you'd be better off going the other way around with cam and no heads. IMO your best price to power ratio would be cam/ simple valvetrain upgrade. not that expensive, especially if you do the work.

Spray it; blow it; or superblow it. I'm where your at and this is my next route

Cam and a fast intake

If you don't want to do a cam I would go ahead and get a good tune. With full bolt on's you should see a fairly good gain out of a quality tune.

A 3" DMH electric cutout ought to be worth 10rwhp. Way cheaper than the intake setup.
