I had the LSS (Lous Short Stick) with my Pro 5.0. It was a nice short throw but to notchy for me with the 5.0 stick. Lots of guys have the LSS on the Stock Hurst and love the combo.

my greatest improvement besides the ring and pinion was to do all air intake start with lid to filter to maf air nebula and larger throttle body if you got the cash ls6 intake will help.

ill say waht about everyone says since your application does not need a MAF ....LEAVE IT ALONE......ported Throttle Body, Lid+Filter, SUSPENSION (Lower Control Arms, Torque Arm, Sub-frame Connectors, Sway Bars, Strut Tower Brace, Adj. Panhard rod and if your focused on all out handling shocks and SPRINGS)

also from my experience....the increased ariflow into LM exhaust sounds nicer....if you do not plan on headers....get either your stock Y-pipe fabricated or....buy the SLP Y-pipe...slight performance gain but a nicer sound.....itmore throat lil less rasp....ifyou plan on getting LT's get a Dynomax 18" Bullet Muffler or a Borla XR-1 muffler
