thanks I won't to get some more horsepower but I don't really won't to go into the motor (cam, heads). So I guess I'm looking for the best bang for the buck.

UDP--$250
Meziere Electric Water Pump-$550
Kooks L/T headers-$900
LS6 heads-$1200
Knowing that you could of saved almost $2500 and got nitrous instead and be twice as fast-PRICELESS!!!!!

underdrive pulley replaces the crank pulley, and its smaller, so it spins the accessories (alt, ps, ac) slower, which reduces the parasitic loss on the engine.

they are not huge power mods...maybe 5-7hp...but they do seem to increase the throttle response and rev-up speed
