Default help beefing up a c5

I just wanna put some basic bolt ons on my 03 just to beef it up over a friends 00 camaro. i have lt and full exhaust i just dont know where to go from here. everything else is stock. I dont really want to go heads and cam just yet. i heard that they already have an ls6 intake not sure if thats true. any help?

If you already have LTs and exhaust I would put on a vararam cold air intake and tune but that's about it. You can do an UD pulley but since you have to pull the steering rack to do that I would wait until you're doing a cam and then just do them at the same time.

Yes any 01+ had an LS6 intake.

I would do Longtubes and a vararam like stated above!

I agree. Vararam, tune and gears. The car will really wake up. Stickier tires won't hurt either.

What has been done to the 00 Camaro? You should already be faster than him, unless he is modded.

the camaro is stock except for a cat back. but we ran at the track and he was only like a tenth behind me. kinda pissed me off. but i got a bbk intake manifold a couple months back. then found out i already had a ls6 manifold. shoulda done some research before buying but would that help out at all?
