I would use the LS6 intake with Stage 2 heads and a 221 to 224 duration cam with a 114 ls.

Or you could just call one of the sponsors listed on the right and talk to them about heads/cam packages.

It all depends on how much of a DIY'er that you are.

You already have the LS6 intake on an 01.

Above suggestions should easily make 400 rwhp with Pulley and Headers.

Is your car an automatic or 6 speed? A higher stall torque converter is a great mod for a automatic car. Good luck

JP - you are getting some great advice here.

Another thought: when you go to the Stage 2 heads and cam (and you will!) make sure that you find someone to do a good job of programming your computer on a dyno. It can make all the difference in the world. Just my .02 cents.

Have fun!
