Get a lid. It costs about 100 dollars and supposedly gains 5-10 hp. Or you can go to your local muffler shop and have a cut out installed in the exhaust for another 5-10 hp and that will set you back another 100.

I would put a lid, headers, no cats, and cut out. Then LS6 intake and ported and polished throttle body and mass air.
