-what exhaust are you running after the headers? a 3" ypipe & catback would be great, true duals wouldnt hurt. (IF you havent already)
-Also what year is your car? if its a 98'-00' you can try getting an LS6 intake manifold (IF it doesnt effect your warranty).
-Look into Porting your Throttle body, There are write ups on how to do it at home aswell
-UD pulley
-stall
-gears?
- After you get all your bolt on's in place, get a TUNE. you want to get the most out of your bolt on parts, no better way to do it than by getting a solid tune!

You're DRINKING and driving a 40 ton truck?!?!

jk man.

I wouldn't think a bigger TB would be worth it on an LS1 intake. The opening is only so big on an Ls1 intake.

I would get some form of rear exit exhaust but if you like loud then you're is fine. Stall would be a good one if your warranty would allow it. If you can do an intake manifold, get an Ls6 or fast intake and tb.

look at my sig, that'll give u a good bolt on list.

Get a proper y-merge, a flowmaster 3-4 or if ur a noob like me a magnaflow 3-3.

never forget about suspension and a good tune either, both go a long way.

call circle d, they'll get you straighten up with a badass stall that suites your needs. Don't go my route, my car had a 3600 stall and i hated it.. but it was jus a bad choice of stall. Take that as a grain of salt

a ported stock tb is perfect for a bolt on ls1. Mightymouse https://ls1tech.com/forums/member.php?u=684 drives a 8 second T/A and retains a ls6 intake and a ported stocker which can be seen here http://www.gmhightechperformance.com.../photo_02.html
