I just got a 2002 WS6 what is the best way i can increase the HP under 2 GRAND

Add a lid and cutout followed by headers and ORY.

Or you could get a cam and tune for ~$2K.

Cam and tuning.


Lid, exhaust, headers and y-pipe and tuning. You can pick up most of this used for cheap.

How much HP are we talking with all of that and what is a lid ( SORRY IM A NEWB ) thanks guys

lid = airlid

Replace your stock airlid for an aftermarket one and pick up around 10 hp.

Don't feel bad...I was a newbie too a few weeks ago and was wondering the same thing after I bought a LS1...

Can't answer the HP questions...it'll depend on various factors...I'll leave that to more experienced LS1er's...

Good luck!

If you can do the labor yourself $2000 gets you new heads for your LS1. That will pickup some power.

Don't do heads until you have a cam. Or you can just do both at once. But you don't really want a cam until you have headers. You don't HAVE to do it this way, but it is smart.

This is the order I plan on doing it since I got my LS1 pretty recenly

free mods
lid
long tube headers and y-pipe and cutouts all at once
gear
cam
heads
who knows what else?

get a full exhaust...you can do this cheap...Pacesetter headers for about 400+ catted Y pipe 100? Hooker or TSP Rumbler 300....thats not even a grand spent...get a tune and a lid and filter...youll be VERY HAPPY!!!

a catted y will set you back more than $100. But I think pacesetters are good headers for the money!

I know several people with the Pacesetter headers and they like them. They also don't hang low either like some of the other long tube headers.

I did my full exhaust for about 725...a lid, than you could get a cam and after intall, might be able to afford a tune...MIGHT
