Default Help me pick my next mod

Ok guys, Here are some choices I have...

It would be easier to tell you guys what I don't have,

Pulley, SSRA, LS6 Intake, LS2 intake, Throttle Body, MAF.

Those are the only bolt ons I don't have yet, and I wanted to know which ones you think would help the most, I'm trying to get into the 11s NA soon, and i'm really close right now(check out the sig).

Any other suggestions?

Also, Front HAL QA1 shocks?????

i would say an ls6 or ls2 intake. i'd say forget about the maf. the stock one is good for plenty of horse-i think about 500. all ive heard from most people, is that a maf is a waste of money.

Since you have a cam, I'd definitely go for the LS6 intake. Right now you're choking her and robbing yourself of some hp.

Port your throttle body yourself and save a buck or two.

2 for an intake, I was going to wait a little while and see how the ls2 does, but i'll have to think about it.

i think the ls2 will be a lot of work, for not much gains over the ls6. most of its gains will be realized due to the 90mm tb, not as much b/c of the intake itself. thats what i've been hearin from the guys that have had hands on time with them.
