Do what i am doing, i am at about the same point, get tuning stuff like atap and ls1edit. You will need them eventually if you keep modding and you will get the most out of what you already have.

Headers would be a great next mod, but without access to Atap it's going to be hard to tell what the car is doing.

ATAP is a diagnostic tool (OBDII I believe) for your LS1. I don't know too much about it yet. I will once I get it. You can buy it used for about $200 through the parts classified board here.

If i were you, get some Long Tube headers. You'll see some great gains from them. Then you can correct your a/f ratio with a MAF translator if you richen up.

I say get the headers, thats what i'm doing next.

Gave my car a slap in the *** for sure. It will probably richen the engine up, and a maft can tune it. BUT, he needs AutoTap in order to see what the engine is doing so he can use the maft. ATAP should be the next thing he gets. Then headers. ATAP should be the first thing anyone buys if they plan to mod their car.
