1. LSS
2. Raptor Shift Light
3. Smooth Bellows
4. B&R TB Bypass

(4. B&R TB Bypass) Don't bother with it. Go to your local hardware store and buy the brass fittings for $1.

(1. LSS) I love mine, and you will use it every time you drive.

The other two are good mods also, but you will not see that much of an increase with the smooth bellows.

I'll sell you a TB bypass kit for $10.00 shipped. That covers the $4 in parts, $1 envelope, $4 priority mail, and $1 for my time

I wouldn't do 3 or 4 you want gain much from them, if anything at all and if you go the fernco route you might crack your lid.

You have to get the rubber fernco, not the plastic. It will not crack the lid. Unless theres already something wrong with the lid . Buy the light. If you have problems shifting, then get the stick.

lss, only do jarrod's short stick instead (search for posts by J-Rod and then email him). he only charges half of what lou does, and his are $25.

all of those other mods are practically pointless, especially compared to the short stick.

If you're gonna do any of those mods, do the short stick. My Pro 5.0 with Lou's Short Stick is awesome!

Thanks guys on helping me narrow them down. Looks like they are all giong to get done at one time or another. I have a race comming up with another LS1 kinda like a grudge match. I figured every little bit helps the reason y I put the shift light in their is becuase I cant be looking down when I race this guy.

Tell you the truth the Raptor is the most expensive of the four I cant probably get away with doing three in one grab.

1.go with the cheaper one metioned b4
2. if you have big plans later ok.. but this is more for ppl who spin up so fast that they need it
3.$4 fernco (the rubber one)
4. 30 cents 3 inches of 1/4inch copper flex pipe

if you want something that will help you edge out a stocker and you dont want to spend alot. get a flowtech cutout for 30 bucks (plus it sounds sweet)

I second jaberwaki w/ the flowtech cutout. I don't have that one in particular, buy my electronic cutout sounds so SWEET and really improves throttle response. IMO, all M6 need a cutout.

Definatly go wit the flowtech cutout.... Its really cheap and will give you great inprovements, and its loud as hell and will intimidate your ordinary stocker.
