Which Exhaust and Intake

A "Y" pipe.....your kidding right.

So, you now know the secrets.....intake & exhaust first. But a cam REALLY wakes an LS motor up. Most people get 40-50 hp (if they have the previous mods) & it moves the power band up where you want it. For an M6 the tune isn't as crucial, but it will help.

Rick, it all depends on what you want the car to do. I see you used to have a Terminator so I figure you know what it takes to go fast.
Headers and catback yelded marginal results but when I added the ported TB and intake (from Cory) + LPE open element air cleaner (the K&N is the essentially the same deal) the car really came alive.

Russ, are you going to run me on the 4th motor to motor? I doubt I will have the spray on by then. Need to give some reason to TnT's this year.

Rates and Options
Current rates are $240 for LS2 Intake porting with an exchange manifold.
Ported Throttle Bodies for LS2's, LS7's, and GM Drive-by-wire Trucks are $120 plus shipping with a Core Exchange.
We have 4 basic options to make the transaction as convenient as possible for you.
Option #1. Remove your intake manifold and ship it to LS2 Port Works via the shipper of your choice (FEDEX, UPS, US Mail, DHL, etc.) and select the speed of service you desire (Next Day, 3 Day, Ground, etc). Include a return shipping slip and it will be ported and on its way back to you right away- current ship time is typically four days after I receive it.
Option #2. Buy a new or used intake and have it drop shipped to LS2 Port Works for porting. Or you may elect to have me purchase the intake for you and handle the entire transaction. Contact me for current new intake pricing and to discuss the various methods and cost of shipment.
Option #3. I ship you a ported intake from my inventory for $240 plus a $250 core charge that is refundable upon receipt of a good core intake. My standard shipping method is FEDEX Ground for $34 total (continental US only) to ship you the ported intake. The ported intake ships to you with a return shipping tag enclosed so you have an easier time of preparing yours to come back to me. You simply install the ported one and put the core back in the box and drop it off at the shipment depot with the return label affixed. It doesn't get any easier than this one unless...
Option #4. You can come by the shop and we can change it here - No shipping, no wait, no core fee, just $50 for installation and a free soda pop with all the horsepower talk you can stand.

I also intend to be making N/A runs as well as spraying

Rick,
Just an FYI but the stock rear suspension on a new GTO is notorious for wheel hop. Consider working on that first before you delve into the power upgrades, which is the path I chose. The only aftermarket power parts I have are SW headers + catback(loud, beware) and an LPE open element air cleaner. Able to run 12.40's but its the 1.7 60' times that make the ET which is due to the suspension.

My hop was mostly gone with just Pedders Street I (x-member bushings and diff insert) and Nitto's. That set up got me my first 1.9 60'.
Now I have Hotchkiss sways and a couple of spinning test launches on the #2 rear setting have been smooth as ice.
The more dedicated drag racers get drag bags too.

I did piece-by-piece until the wheel hop was supressed, to say the least. Looking back it may have been more cost effective going with a Pedders kit setup. The best items were the rear Koni adjustables. Recently I added the subframe connectors but have no track results yet.
