Is it safe to assume you're running a six speed with the 4.10 gears? That would mean a converter is out. Look into the LS1 intake swap with a chrs1313 ram air or SLP ram air setup. That should increase throttle response.

4.10 gears with an auto, alright maybe it's time to look into getting a quality converter. Altough 4.10's should already be getting that thing moving pretty quick though huh?

Aftermarket throttle bottle, bigger MAF sensor ends..I personally wouldn't do either as they say the stock TB and MAF is perfectly fine. I would look more into suspension to hang with LS1's, if your putting the power to the ground you can beat them. Check the below list.

1) UMI 2 point weld in SFC
2) UMI 2 point strut tower brace
3) UMI lower control arms
4) UMI Pan hard bar
5) UMI bolt in relocation brackets (then weld in)
6) LS1 driveshaft
7) Underdrive pulley

Your going to need pic either a cam, converter, or nitrous to keep up with LS1 cars with a 50hp advantage....either that or FULL bolt ons: cat-back/true dual exhaust, electric WP, 52mm TB, 1.6 RR & springs, with some suspension stuff like control arms, LCA relocation brackets, tires, ect. I would start with all the bolt on stuff or stall as it's needed once you change out the cam/heads ect. down the road.
