Best way to spend 2K for more power while staying as driveable as possible?

Who ported the heads? Those numbers seem low for your mods. Spend $100 and have them flow tested imo. If there is anything to gain there (which I'm guessing there is), spend your money there + retune/dyno.

LS6 intake on your car, right?

I would look into a rear end. Any more power with your m6 and you'll be replacing it anyway.

Sell your heads and get some Trickflow or AFR heads

SFCs and suspension.

I say suspension, you will see some nice gains there

Forgot to mention there are already a lot of suspension upgrades- it corners like a dream.

Yes it has an LS6 intake.

Definitely need to do a flow test.

Previous owner in Chicago had the head work done- not sure where exactly.

Didn't think I could do a new rear end for 2K but I'll look into it. I don't run it at the track so the street tires don't really hook up enough to blow out the 10-bolt (has a TA girdle on it).

A new rear end is going to cost more than 2k. If you don't drag race, then I wouldn't worry about it.

You dont have to dragrace to break a rear. I would sell your heads and buy some afr or prc heads.

Power is about right for his mods.

The T56 will hold up for a while, I'm making much more than him and mine is fine.

This, Drag radials and some front suspension.

I wasn't meaning the transmission wouldn't hold up. I was referring to the manual transmissions going through rear ends like there's no tomorrow, especially when making 400+hp

JUSTINSWS6

Yes the rear will go ka-boom for sure. There are good 9 inches for sale for under 2000k.

If you aren't drag racing and have decent suspension the rear is fine.

Agreed. The rear is the way to go, especially if you already have the suspension. All that power has to go somewhere, otherwise, increasing it would do nothing for you once that ten bolt snaps like a twig. Mine broke and I was close to stock power with LT's and exhaust. Get a 9in or, since you dont drag, a 12 bolt.

id start with suspension. get that 60 foot down, but you prob need a rear end first anyways, because the lca etc...will add even more stress on the 10 bolt and it will go out quick.

if not then i would go with a better set of heads. tf or afs.

or you could buy a forged motor kit and get ready to throw on a 200+ wet shot.
