Default Next Go Fast Mods

What should I do next for my car. Currently I have 150* of nitrous and a TEP trans and other bolt ons. I don't want to go turbo thats too much $$$. Intake? Lifters? Springs? cam? Whats the next mod that gives the most bang for the buck

Your options are wide open. Ls2 w/ls2 TB .,.ls1/6 with their tb . theres no Dyno back to back so we will never know.

For power though I'd be thinking about a plate or direct port kit

im reffering to when you do a intake swap, Plates are supported. I had my nozzle mounted in my throttle body spacer for a while hit pretty hard but was not 100% on getting the shot to all cylinders, I moved the nozzlle back to air intake for now. I would like to go plate, But my I have pretty much everything i need to go rear mount turbo now, so im making that happen

It's make things hard to judge add ons, only because no one has any before and after dyno numbers. Headers alone don't warrant a wise investment for a stock ls4, Maybe 5-10 hp for 500-700 bucks is just sadd.

I've got most of what you need for the intake swap if you're interested.

Untouched LS6intake
Brian 396's TB adapter(this allows your stock tb to fit on the LS6intake)
Katech Racing Valley cover/w Katech Racing modded OPSU

PM me if you're interested. PS- its not a cheap setup
