If you're looking for straight up best bang for buck, thats probably gonna be the juice.

other than that, at this point though, it sounds like a cam is the next step for parts.
or if you don't want to mess with the engine (which i doubt since you mentioned a cam up there), seriously man, get a tune! that's one of the best bang for the buck mods out there and it's seemingly always overlooked!

BLOWER....i love it...just get to the point....seriously go for the ls6 and a tune.,..dont get crazy about a loop on a cam...just remember the bigger you go the more problems you can have...but a cams not a bad idea....just remember a tune is needed for all that

ok guys thanx for the input but about the ls6 intake is that going to be better than a F.A.S.T intake of like a weiand b/c i was looking into those also and also quik question i've seen a lingenfelter gt1-1 camshaft on ebay its a .631lift what you guys think about that?? b/c i need a cam that will pull on top end bc autos feel like they are struggling after bout 80MPH but i also still have stock gear. i just got a 100 shot on there now and now have a traction problem lol. i ran an 8.74 sec in the 1/8 with just bfg drag radials stock and now with the mods ive got what ya'll think she will run? my buget is about $1000

ok what bout the ls6 intake any where i can find one of those?When people say "it pulls on the top end", they might not mean "high speed". They could be referring to "high RPM's", which is the norm. My car pulls hard on the top end, but I'm talking about 5000+ rpms.
The #1 thing that would make your car faster right now is a stall converter. With a 3500 or so stall, you'll be out in front of alot of 6-speed cars. You can get an LS6 used or from our sponsors. If you have a grand to play with, throw in a stall and LS6 intake to help breath up top a little better.
