extra power
extra power i have a 2001 head/cam/intake trans am. six speed with 3:73 gears. it put down 469 rwhp. my question is is there anything that i can do to make it run a little better. please let me know any suggestions
those are some damn good numbers for ls6 heads and an off the shelf cam, albeit a big one, especially thru a 9 inch, but if you want more, you are going to have to go with an aftermarket casting head
probably get it retuned, x pipe, im sure you dont have ALL the bolt onts I.E. 1.8 rockers, electric waterpump, stuff like that. Just look into other things to make power, no need to get better heads, unless your tapped out of stuff to do.

Your making good power now. To make more power you need a better head, custom ground cam wont hurt either.

alright well let me ask you guys another question. someone is offering me a new nitrous kit but it is a dry 100 shot with a ten pound bottle. are dry shots unsafe for a 100 shot. i really dont want to blow it up because im 17 and my parents would probably shoot me 
you must deal to make money to work on your car. lol
switch to a 4" merge with a 4" cutout that should be good for another 7 or so horsepower. that is what another guy gained with a similar setup to yours. Also an underdrive pulley should give you another 7 or so too. You can also have your fast 90 ported. Upgrade your plug wires maybe good for 2 hp lol and get an aluminum flywheel which will help it get up into the high rpms a quicker.
nah i bought it stock from some dealer in rockville, MD i tow donated cars, its really a 
job but it pays good. about the nitrous though. will a 100 dry shot hurt it? or should it be okay.

maybe you should get it retuned, because if 469 doesnt "feel" like enough its probably somewhere in the tune. 469 rwhp is ALOT and your car might not be up to tip top shape and it doesnt feel as fast as it should.
