LT's they will make much more of a difference, and LS6 intakes seem a bit over priced

Get a set of race headers and ditch the egr crap. You won't need it when you finally do get an LS6 intake.

LT's by far over the Intake. I love the way these cars sound with LT's with nearly any exhaust. Not to mention its a bigger Horsepower gain over an intake.

+1 on the LT's. Do the intake later on down the road, you def. need LT's because the stock manifolds are very restricitve. LT's will really open her up.

Unless you go turbo then the intake would be better as the headers would be replaced then.
