Only another 100? Standard stuff, heads, cam, exhaust. THere is a lot you can do with that LSx. There is a performance section on this website, you may want to post there....

100 horse? Patriot 5.3 heads, TR224 cam, Longtubes, LS6 intake, ported throttle body. Thats the lazy **** cam ( cant go wrong with it ) and that combo will net you over 100 horse from stock with a good tune. Probably the most common set up as its proven and cost effective. Theres more to be had but your going to pay for each horse past that ( no power adder that is )

Or just stuff a procharger on it. Its easy and gives great results
