What Should My Next Mod. Be? Ok so after Christmas and New Years is done with, I plan on throwing a little something into my Firehawk. I know for sure that I'm going to have it dynotuned, I just don't know what else would make a nice power gain. I was thinking like an intake or something. I will have about a good $1K to play with and my dynotune will run me about $350, so that doesn't leave me much to play with. This is my first LS1 so I'm not too familiar with them. The mods. that are already on my car are in my sig. if it helps any. Oh yeah, What do ya'll think my car will run in the 1/4 mile the way it's sitting?
Thanks for the help, Ryan.

Man ide say get a ls6 intake and replace those mid lenghs with longtubes. Would make a hella difference bro if you combined those two mods with a good tune. I remeber when I got my ls6 intake after my cam install it as lke getting headrs all over again

If I can find a used LS6 intake and used LT's for a good price, I'll do that. I just need to set aside $350 for my dynotune. I always know I can sale my midtubes to a guy here in town with an SS. I'm sure he'll buy 'em.

underdrive pulley is a good one for the money too.
i also definatley advocate doing as many of the intake/exhaust related bolt ons as possible before getting your tune. might want to get your LT's and LS6 intake first.

BOSS APPROVED!
There was some guy a few days ago selling a couple of ls6 intakes and he is located in Pearland. Check back a few days worth of threads and I think it will pop up under 2 ls6 intakes for sale. He wanted $350 for each
to about $489 or so for just the cam. or about 600-700 for the whole kit new. 
I had the X-1 cam from MTI in my daily driver. I got about 25mpg on the hwy and about 18 in the city. It was a bad *** cam for the size.. I ran a 12.1 @117 with a 1.8 60'.. If your gonna get a tune I would wait until you got the intake and headers put on.. Or if you plan on getting a cam I would wait till after the cam.. -Cody

I can tell you one of your big problems is that flowmaster catback. It's seriously chocking the exhaust. It may sound somewhat good but they are anything but serious power adders.
LT headers and UD pulley is my suggestion

Yeah I know. I don't even like the way it sounds. Too quiet. Make's me feel like I'm driving a Kia. Sometimes I have to look at my RPM's to check if my car is on. I'm thinking about getting an SLP Loud Mouth cat-back or Magnaflow.
