How about a LS6 intake? You could probably find one for 300 bucks and should be pretty good power gains.

Yah stalls usualy go for around 400 or so, and from what i read on this site, there suposed to be amazing. for an every day driver I would probably wanna get around 3000-3200 rite?

NO lower then a 3500 stall or you'll kick yourself. 3500 is perfect for a daily driver, I have one its on my daily driver, i wish i would have gone with a 3800 or 4000 stall. With the gears you have know the stall shouldn't feel so loose on the street.

Save up a little more and get some of those new XS Stainless Steel headers w/ ORY off of EBay that a few members have been installing lately. They look great, and seem to fit nice too. They're supposed to be releasing their ORY in the next few weeks, and you could probably have it all for around $400-450 considering the price of the headers. After that, get a stall.

Ebay headers apparently seem to be the hot item for peanuts these days.
