Just star off with a lid and catback. then save up for a converter and drag radials.

that would be a good start.

Lid, cutout (for the track), hooker muffler, drag radials, used 9" converter with a stall around 3200rmp. This stuff should run you just under a grand.
After that, 100hp shot of spray.

Lid, headers, LS6 intake and tune. Screw the aftermarket MAF...those things cause more problems than they're worth.

If you're too lazy to install stuff yourself, talk with TRT Performance...they have pimp deals on products and install prices...and I do mean pimp!
