Mods for street/strip DD! Hey I just bought a bone stock TA WS6 with a LS1 and automatic transmission.
I just wanna know what mods(cheap but worth it) would be good to put on it for the occasional street races, or whenever i want to go for a 1/4 run. I still want it to be a DD, but really, i want to hit the 400hp mark(without nitrous) and cheap. Im already going to get the SLP/K&N Air induction Kit and a racing shifter so dont mention thoes!haha
Here is what im lookingg at...
- a good and very loud sounding exhaust set up.
- Headers.
- either 3:73 or 4:10 gears.
- intake manifold
-whatever else you think i should get, im on a budget!
and I also want to know would it hurt my engine if i put in a cam with stock heads and if its okay what cam should i get to be able to run in the stock ls1 heads, and also be able to run on different heads if i buy new ones(thinking about the ported ls6 heads). Just wondering.
Thanks All!

Read that and it should answer your cam ?'s
Sure you can put a diff cam in without porting/swapping heads.
What gears do you have in your rear end now?

Im thinking right now getting a headers-exhaust set up so it can breathe better, then get some ls6 heads with a ms4. or should i go heads/cam first so ill be able to know what headers to fit on.??
