Default Choose form these mods

If you could only choose 2 of these 3 mods what would they be: Cam, Headers, LS6 intake?

If you want a quiet car with good power, do cam and intake.

If you want a louder car with the max power you can get from those choices, do cam and headers.

If you want parts you can easily install yourself, get headers and intake.

All depends on your priority.

I belive if you've got a post 2000 LS1, its already got the LS6 intake on it, but im not 100% on that one.

Imo, cam and headers. The LS1 intake already flows damn good, but bump that cam up, and open up the exhaust, and your good to go...for awhile <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

The LS6 intake manifold didn't even give me 1 HP on my bolt on car. The LS6 manifold probably isn't even worth more than 5 on a cam only car.
