GMHTP mag (and alot of folks on here) have done "free mods" to the LS1 4th gens like yours. Cutting the botom of the air box, etc.. My question is if your car has been programmed by a hand held (diablo, etc.) did they include it with the car? If so, you could tweek some stuff with that.

you could get an air intake lid but if it already has headers chances are it already has an aftermarket one. Some free mods are porting and polishing your throttle body, throttle body bump stop mod,fra which is just cutting the bottom of your air bod lid. and you can do the throttle body bypass mod. this just reroutes the warm coolant to flow around your tb instead of through it, which just warms it up.

heres a good guide for intake and exhuast mods
