some peoples' view of inexpensive could vary but

underdrive pulley

headers if you dont have them.

If its a 98, Porting your Throttle body and doing an Ls6 intake wouldn't be a bad idea. It's cheaper than doing your shocks. What kind of money are you looking to spend?

headers and y-pipe. Then a ls6 intake and P&P TB

Inexpensive? Depending on your definition of inexpensive, i think long tubes are def up next! Tho IMO, its gonna sound awful with that loudmouth cat-back.

If thats too much.. maybe an LS6 IM? There isnt many things that are inexpensive that u havnt already done that will add HP...

I spend around $500 every 3 to 4 months on the car. I like the exhaust the way it is. Headers would make it to loud. How much power does an underdrive pulley add. What is the cost of ls6 intake with labor.

Thanks

you can get a used ls6 intake for $300-$400, you can probably install it yourself, theres a video on these forums of a tutorial.
All underdrive pulleys advertise 10-15 horsepower gain so...expect 5-7, costs $200-$250, not counting the new belts.
Im sorry that you dont want headers, it is probably the most horsepower giving bolt on, besides nitrous.

Based on your answer about headers I'd say get an LS6 intake and have your TB ported and polished. You should be able to tackle the install yourself, just be careful with the oil pressure sending unit.

headers and then get it tuned. trust me, you'll feel the difference and the headers should assist in future mods. intake, cam, heads...etc

If you are interested in LS6 IM, I have one with the coolant lines BNIB.. bought it for my 99 SS, it is pending in sale right now but if things change IM me and make me an offer

So every one says get headers. What company makes quality headers for convertible with auto trans. What is the labor cost to install. Will it need to be tuned after instalation.
Thanks

I have bbk chrome plated lt's with bbk ory the price was around 350 for both . The ground clearance is amazing too.

The best bang for buck headers are pacesetters. It will not 'need' to be tuned but it wont hurt either. Labor could range from $100-$500, just check around.
