i didnt see long tube headers on there anywhere..those are a big bolt-on gain..and have you considered true duals or an ls-6 intake..with these things along with your new list..you would be about optioned out for bolt-ons...you would be making some good horse power

good numbers on that ls6 from what i was told. yeah im gonna have to look into those now. i plan on getting the stock piece. i took out my egr valve so i dont need the slp one for 70 bucks more. and headers im gonna get without the emisisons crap on it so that will save me some money. but then again im in the hole so im gonna have to wait about a year or so on those. any tuning issues intake or headers? like lean/rich?

Please don't bother with buying & installing any short headers. Just not worth it.

Save your money &amp; buy a good set of 1-3/4" long tube headers. A proper set is worth <font color="red">25 RWHP !<!--color--></font> on a basically stock engine. Add more mods &amp; you get more gains.

Yeah I agree dont waste money on shorties not worth it-save and get a good set of Long Tubes like Hookers with a Hooker off road Y pipe.As for the Ls6 intake I say get it worth 8-12 hp depending on mods.

I've heard as high as 365 to the ground.
