I would have no need for nitrous, as I don't street race or goto the track, plus I dont want to blow up my tranny again.

TSP has a good deal on some LS6 heads right now, something like $895. People are posting some good results in the dyno section too, might wanna check it out...

can't be a dyno queen then he would have nitrous

start from the bottom and build up to the motor it's always best to do the suspension first

get a good torque arm DON'T GO WITH THE EDLEBROCK IT'S A PIECE OF ****

just my 2cents

I know, right! Keeping a vehicle bonestock increases the longevity of it and saves you money.

to answer all the threads about what I do with my car, because I don't street race or goto the track: I enjoy modding my car for the hobbie aspect and when I want the power I can use it but a car doesn't necessarily have to be next to me. Also, the dyno numbers are not rather important, but somewhat.

It looks like people are leaning towards suspension, keep them coming.

Thanks.

personally i'd do suspension but since you don't race or seem to care about times, i voted heads. who cares if you can't get the power to the ground. have some fun with it.
