if you want to go with the ls6 intake, here are a few from the classifieds on here:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...ipped-obo.html

https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...manifolds.html

https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...ported-tb.html

Or for the nitrous, here are the links to some sponsors:

On a side note, just make sure you have all the supporting mods for the cam, like springs, pushrods, etc.Also, I don't know if you have an auto or stick, but if you're an auto and going with a big cam, a stall would definitely be next on my to do list.

I did the bolt ons first,then the cam,now on to rod bolts and rearend,then rebuild t56 and suspension,its really what you wanna do and what your budget looks like,to get the most out of the cam you'll need the intake,headers,and a cat back or just run a cut out,well take care man it takes time,God bless

$300 for the car isn't much IMHO. Tell her to spend the money on a karma sutra book, supplies, and multiple kinky lingerie sets. That would be more of worthy mod that keeps on giving.

Is your car's suspension built yet? If not I'd look there - that or the intake.

If you plan on doing the cam then I would go for the LS6 intake. It was one of my 1st mods beside a CAI.

Stellar advice sir. 5 stars for you.

And considering there's not really any internal modifications you can do for $300, I'm going to move this to the proper section.
