Default In the 11's, but what would LT's and LS6 intake do?

Alirght I finally got my 98 Trans Am into the 11's.
Mods are:
pp tb
slp lid
borla catback
nx 150 wet
4k stall
lca's
comp rear shocks 50/50
and a hp tuners street tune
I ran a 12.9 @104 with a 1.7 60' on motor
11.7@114 with a 1.6 60' with the 150 nx
I still have the stock exhaust maniflods, so I was just wondering if there would still be a noticeable of difference if switching to long tube headers and a ory, and maybe adding an ls6 maniflod. I'd just remove the egr stuff. Any guess estimates how much power and et I can pick up with lt's and maybe an ls6? Would I need to get another tune other than deleting the rear o2's and egr stuff, would there still be adjustments need to be done since I already have a tune but didn't have lt's or ls6 intake at the time of tune?

Thanks

I think you'd pick up pretty big, I've seen combos like yours + the stuff you want to do run lower in the 11's at hit 120+ mph.

How have you not done these mods yet???

You will definitely benefit a lot from these... I'd guess 30rwhp if I were guessing

Before the converter install I ran a 12.2 @118 with a 2.0 60' worn 18" DR's and busted torque arm busing.
I just never did them for some reason, n20 was the first thing I wanted then just the small stuff. I'm hpoing for an extra push from these.
Thanks

Call me crazy, but I'm thinking 11.4@120mph. Let's see!

11.4 @ 120?? You really think I can pick up 6mph with the lt's, ory, and ls6? I sure as heck hope so. lol
You think it would need to be retuned?
Next is qa1 r shocks and springs, and then prostars runners and rear's, I have a heavy wheel out back.
Thanks

If I had the money to blow and wanted to make sure I got everything out of it that I can and that my numbers are right I'd go ahead and re-tune it..

I had a dyno tune on mine after LT's, LS6 intake, etc. etc. (some other bolt ons) and picked up 10rwhp with the tune, through an A4 and 373's..
