and is the throttle body and plenum worth it all i have heard is til your making 450+ a tb does jack ****
+1 plenty of dyno proof to back this up. Just like your exhaust....until your engine can push your TB/plenum to its full capability its a waste of money.
cause i dont wanna wait til i save another 3500 or so .. trust me i'd love to do the s/c this summer but i wont have enough money to and i feel the need to do something to it while its out for the summer ... getting the windows and taillights tinted on tuesday and some new headlights soon but i have a grand to put in performance wise and unless someone has a better idea it looks like im going lt's and mid pipe
another ? about lt's do they drastically change the sound of your car? and about how many horses am i looking at
Longtubes will make your car louder and deeper. Usually with full exhaust like Catback, Mid-Pipe & Longtubes you usually gain about 25-35hp. What brand longtubes are you looking at getting?

You might not gain much in power form from them just yet, but you will notice a increase in throttle response and your rpm's will climb smoother.
looks like im set on lt's and midpipe and possibly xcal tuner, any other thoughts and opinions are appreciated i have another 2 weeks til i will be ordering
headers + midpipe, if you eventually want a s/c, or cams or something you'll already have good supporting mods in place
i do want to supercharge but it is more than likely going to happen later rather than sooner so until then i would like to get the supporting mods done, any other good ones within my budget?
Well you can get cams for right around ~$1200, if you can do the work yourself i'd get yourself some cams, valvesprings will run you another $380 or so if u want to run an agressive set of cams. IF you can do the work yourself or with friends for beer or free do cams, otherwise go LTs, 4v labor isn't cheap.
how hard is lt's to do, i have done some minor mods to the sixxer and if needed i have a friend that will know what hes doing but i would rather do the work myself, is it hard?
