you should have definitely felt some improvement in power from the LT's and ORY...

but an LS6 Manifold wouldn't hurt... the more mods you add the more each benefits from the other... a Ported TB couldn't hurt either

I would improve on your intake setup. How often do you go 120 mph?

ever heard of defensive driving?

either ways get your pcm scanned and see if any codes are malfunctioning... and if you want to lower your temps you will need that 160* thermo and a tune to make use of it while setting your fan temps
