Default What are the best mods to make on new LS2?

I just bought a Victory red, 6 spd. 1SA Coupe, w/Z51 and competition grey wheels.

I really like the Random Tech new 3" stainless exhaust, and the dyno proven increase of 17-20 rwhp (on 6 speeds only--does not fit AT cars).

But, I would like to know who makes the best air intake & filters, and any other mods that can be backed up with real dyno before and after charts.

HELP me please......

JC

k&n has the best air filter by far, get that.
i read (lost the link) they tested without an air filter and with the k&n it actually flowed better

and here is an article on dyno testing 7 different air lids..

looks like the MTi produced the best track times, i would get that in the clear lid cuz of the coolness factor

Anything that does not require tuning Some day soon hopefully, we'll have some tuning software available.
