Ok, I will try and clear up something for you right now. The handheld tuners....throw in the trash. Synergy does have something better. It is called a real tune.
2nd: I thought that you said "major upgrades"
3rd:what is a light shifter? Sounds like something that you would get on www.ilovericers.com (Unless you mean a shift light)
4th: You probably need to call up a sponsor and tell them your overall goal instead of sloppin' some parts together to make the car faster.
5th: Things you don't need
-----------------------------
Handheld programmer
MSD Coils
A different short throw shifter
A different CAI
A 90/90 setup on a stock motor with headers
Light shifters
4.10 gears
6th: Things you do need
----------------------------
TO READ THE STICKIES IN THIS FORUM
Probably just an LS6 intake
A good stock replacement clutch (RAM, Centerforce, Textralia, take your pick)
Your flowmasters in the trash can. Depends on what series though)
3.73 gears. 4.10's are not really something I would recommend to someone doing street driving. Your rear probably has 3.23's or 3.42's already.
Other people can add to this, but it was a basic overview of whats up in the LS1 world.

Well it is shift light. . . lolz. sometimes i get a habit looking down the road when i speed and forget to shift at the right time. . im pretty sure you know what i mean LOLZ. So now i'm narrow down to . .
-Actual tuning (instead of handheld tuning). . or "real tune" lolz
-LS6 intake
-Centerforce Clutch
-3.73 gears
- (no headers???)
Anybody wants a say in this???

What are you trying to accomplish bud?
Do you have a HP goal you want to meet, track time...etc.
Goals are helpful for the crew to whip up a fresh batch of advise.
[edit] actually yeah, stickies are your best bet, your going to end up reading them anyway. You can prob come into the game a total n00b and build an 11 sec LS1 just from reading the stickies on this board, they're just that good.[/edit]
