Exhaust (catback or true duals), and intake.

Unless I'm just missing something, that's really about it.

You pretty much have full bolt ons. You could always get a ud pulley. I was going to but decided it wasnt worth it for me.

Well his car came stock w / the ls6 intake and will work great for his current setup. He also has a cut out so a catback wouldnt really make sense unless he is eventually going to a h/c combo that would benefit from the larger piping.

You pretty much have it covered besides and underdrive pulley which would be an easy 5-10 horse at the tire. Something else to consider if you feel like taking things a step further would be to purchase an electric water pump to free up a little more. It is definitely not cheap, but it is still considered a bolt on.

Very valid points there.

How did you decide the UD pulley wasn't worth it?

You're pretty much there. Underdrive pulley is still a quality "bolt on". After that, the rest of the mods are solid internal upgrades (heads, cam)

I just dont think its worth the time for an extra 5hp but thats just my opinion. Its still a popular mod.

i kinda agree with this. although every little bit counts, its not worth the $200+ for a couple horses. you sound like your basically there. Time for a cam!

A pulley, duals and a ram air kit should help. You could also do 1.85 rockers

factory 3.23 last time i put aftermarket gears in a 10 bolt they only lasted a couple months (motive 3.73's) so if i do gear i think it might be time to upgrade to a 12 bolt. I currently run nitto dr 275/50r15 on a set of racestars. There only going to last the rest of the season but they do good i have no suspension mods and i cut 1.56 60'. Maybe some Mickey's or hoosier?

I know. I'm just saying heads and cam because he has pretty much everything as is so the next most logical step would be H/C.

My bad. It gets expensive once you get into internals. I believe slowhawk does h /c swaps for 3400 w/ parts included. Then you need to worry about the stock clutch and 10 bolt. It never ends .

No worries man

I guess you could just get rid of that stock catback as well? I know you have the cutout and all, so I guess that's one of the few remaining "bolt-on" mods left.
