Ls6 intake, Ported Throttle Body, LT's,catback(or whatever you decide to do for exhaust)

It doesnt necessarily have to be done in this order.

Intake, LT headers, exhaust , lid, ( you can port your own TB for free if you're good with that kinda stuff. ) Nittos hmm. i think that covers bolt on's that are worth a damn.

i cant believe only one person has said lid! i dynoed my car before and after lid, same day, about an hour apart, and gained 9 RWHP for $80. (of course for the people that dont already have one - i know the thread starter does. )

gears are nice too, something i need to do. you'l definitely feel a difference with some 4.10's for a manual, 3.73's for an auto.

Isn't answering the thread-starters question the whole point? I knew he had a lid, thus I didn't see any point in telling him to get one.

well the only reason i posted lid was for any other person new to the LS1 field who might happen to read the thread. i mean, how often do people throw out "use the search feature"?? someone else might be looking for a similar answer. just trying to help the OTHER folks new to the area/site out a little bit. my bad, i wont let it happen again.
