i will have about 600 dollars max to work with,,, i don't have the know-how to do any of the labor so i will need that included with the 600
i was thinking i have two options for my next mod, but if theres something i am over looking, give me some advice
i could buy the LG Y pipe, its 2.75" and claims to be bigger than stock y... and for LG to install it, they said, about 100 to 150. so thats about 400 all together
also i could buy the ASP underdrive pulley, its about 250 and 140 for install from LG Motorsports
or i can buy the LS6 intake,,, its about 500 and then 140 for install, kinda over my budget, but whatevers best
i need the best bang for the buck

Re: what mods next? IMO, save up a couple hundred more, get the Hotcam kit and have it put in. If you are limited to the dollar value you state, go with that or a closly priced cam. If you can drop more, get a different cam (a little more aggressive). I recommend it because for the loot, you get damn near everything you'll need...like springs, etc. Think about it! I think you'd be pleased!

Re: what mods next? You need a torque converter. That is pretty much the best mod you can do to your car if its an auto. If its a manual save up and get a stronger rear end. But save up for that torque converter if you want to go fast.
Re: what mods next? with your shorties, i duno if the y is worth the $$.
I wouldnt get the LS6intake. you wont see much HP.
Have you thought about tuning? If you have a M6 i would get a B&M, ASP, and a ported tb.

Re: what mods next? If u don't already have some, get some clear corner lenses! I had some on a '94 Camaro and they look WAY better than the orange ones. They're cheap and you would not believe how much better they make the car look. I got mine at www.rksport.com or you could go with their black out covers for the corners. Anything is better than the stockers, and they aren't hard to put on.
