What should i do.

I have a 2000 pontiac trans am ws6. 6 spd. It has a slp air lid, slp maf sensor, slp bellow, 80 mm throttle body, hedman headers, cherry bomb exhaust.

It is in the shop right now gettting tuned and they are putting new plugs and wires.

I know this is a broad open ended question. If this was your car what would be your next purchase.
or suggestion on performance parts

Are the Hedman's long tubes? If not get a set of 1 3/4 or 1 7/8'' long tubes and a true dual exhaust setup from TSP. Then a short throw. This is just for starters. Then go clutch, heads/cam, intake manifold, etc etc

look on the classified for LS6 heads or you can buy some already worked from a lot of different vendors. SpeedInc, TSP, etc. Just depends on the coin you have. Before I started doing all that work, I would get the true dual exhaust and a new clutch to hold the power.

I say Cam. If running on a very tight budget.
If you have more cash to spare then look for a set of heads.
Fast intake are expensive in my opinion.
stay with ls6 intake!
