SFC's get the bolt ons and get them welded in later. SFC normally IMO should be the next mod right after lowering springs.

If i was in your position i would get the ls6 intake manifold and Ported TB. But there are plenty of things to buy.

i'm leaning towards, ls6 intake, ported tb, bolt in sfc's, and shift light (raptor) a combination that will equal aprox $300.

The ls6 intake alone will cost from 315-350 used. (check the for sale section)

I would go with the Ported TB, Bolt in SFC's and shift light. That should be somewhere around $300. You can get the ls6 intake manifold a little later down the road. I would much rather have 3 new mods then 1(ls6 intake)
