Default Upgrade Question

Ive been looking at a second upgrade for my car. I just recently bought 3.73 gears and am looking for somthing else. I was wondering which would help out and be more effective out of a Hand held Tuner like a Granatelli or Hypertech, Headers, or something like a LS6 Intake. Any suggestions are greatly appriciated.

Headers all the way. You'd be a tard to get a handheld tuner, and I don't think the LS6 intake offers all that much over a LS1, but I'm not sure. But of those 3 I know headers would be the biggest gain.

This depends on how much of a budget you have! You can go with bigger throttle body or just port it(cheaper), a programmer, good maf(or descreen it), bigger gears or headers. With your current mods I'd probably go with some headers for a bigger gain. Check out whatever specials may be goin on right now. You want somethin cheaper go to any muffler shop and they can probably make you a cutout.

I'd say headers, nice hp gain and you also save some weight. My car got 20lbs lighter when I switched to Kooks.
