I have about $2000 that i can spend now, maybe can get some more if needed, but i'm really impatient and haven't put anything on my car in like a year and a half.. so, i have been looking at headers/y-pipe , heads/cam, intake manifold, strokers, turbos, superchargers.. pretty much anything to get me more power..

i currently have: MTI lid/knn, stupid FREE RamAir mod/descreened MAF, 160 stat, Borla Catback, 4.10(4.11 whatever the heck it is) gears, LSStick, Hypertech Programmer, SLP Convertible SFCs, BMR LCAs. thats all i can think of.. Its on my 2000 M6 WS6 convertible

i have so much trouble saving up money and really want more from my car. Any help is greatly appreciated.. Please give me some ideas.. I have little knowledge of engines, so that kind of work would probably have to be done in a local shop..

thanks

can get a cam and install for that money. if you turn your own wrenches you could add heads, and possibly an ls6 intake to the equation.

See ls1howto.com for a step by step pictorial on a h/c swap. Its not that hard.

once upon a time a friend told me that its useless changing the cam unless i change the intake man too, and i figured that meant i might as well go for the headers and y-pipe.. so you think i should go with a cam first.. with a cam alone, am i looking at am SOTP difference..? i guess it needs to be done at some point anyways.. any more suggestions??

i pretty much just did this, but i already had headers, and an LS6 intake.

I bought a TR227 cam from thunder racing with valve springs, and pushrods.
$599
Ram clutch, with hydraulics
$700
Oil pump, timing chain
$200
The rest would leave you some money for mac midlengths, then save for a tune...

Atleast thats the way i am going. its all sitting in my room though, im waiting till spring break for the install. Everything myself.

then throw your hypertech programmer in the trash!!!!!

With CHEATr cam, you could make a lot of power with stock exhaust manifolds, and plow the rest of the $$$ into gears, LCA's and a small wet shot. Do the exhaust when save up more dough, and you can do it in manageable pieces, $$-wise.

[EDIT] 400+ rwhp for sure
