Default What Bolt-ons

Alright so i got a pretty much stock 2001 SS M6 and was wondering what bolt- ons i should get (giving me the best overall horsepower at the crank and wheels) If you have an SS or a WS6 and you have full bolt-ons, than tell me what they are and the best order (if you can) to buy them in.
thanks
david

I would/am doing.......lid, ported tb, Lt's, catback/duals, intake manifold (ls6)

Those are all the boltons i'm doing but you could also do a underdrive pulley and electric water pump. I dont think i will be doing either.

you don't need to keep saying ws6 or SS..... WS6, trans am , ss, z28, firehawk, C5 vette, they're all the same motor. and just because its a C5 vette doesn't mean its faster than an f-body. My stock 98 Z28 M6 ran 13.2 @107 , 2.0 short time. you see what i'm saying?

I think the U/D pully is worth it, if you want to free up 8 to 10 RWHP!
you are right about the water pump, respectively.

start with intake and exhaust. its always a good thing to let the engine breath easy. that way revs faster and make more power. if u can buy a mti lid, then get jethot headers and a off road y pipe or if u have the money go with x pipes. with all that and a tune u could gain 40-50 horse. if u have a 01 ss then u already have a ls6 intake.

I'm not sayin the UD pulley isnt worth it, i just dont think i will be using one. I would consider getting a ud pulley when i do a cam because i'm already in there.
