first m6 mod should be !CAGS (skip shift eliminator check out installuniversity.com and do it yourself for 50 cents insted of spending 30 bucks) u should deff get a lid, they are faily cheap and help your car breath..dont forget the free ram air mod..your gonna want an ory and catback system (or true duals) and u may want to consider getting diffrent headers (from what i hear you can get better headers for cheaper... pacesetters seem to be very common and are the best bang for the buck).... consider getting a bigger tb (port your stocker out and save 350-400 bucks over an aftermarket)...... i have 295's and i wish i had wider.... being ur stick and ur gonna have 4:10's i would fit as much rubber under there as i could but only as wide as your wheels will saftly fit.....

All of the above.....if your car is 98-00 you should upgrade your intake manifold. (LS6,FAST)
