Default Best bang for the buck.

What would be the best amount of power I can get for like, 1500 bucks?
Got a LS1 build atm and trying to figure out which way to go.

IMO only ...TSP or KOOKs or American Racing headers either brand on a 1 7/8 primary.
An ls6 intake & a dyno tuner by a professional shop/tuner. (No mail order stuff)
^^ these are essensial mods ... If you still have money left over ... Get some zaino & start licking that bumper =p

Kooks headers are 800 bucks, I'd go that way lol. LS6 intake is 500..Wonder how much it is to get a dyno tune. I was thinking a cam/heads before headers and intake.

Ok best way is to shoot the Texas-speed 1 7/8 long tubes ... Around 600$ & are just as good ... Then get the exhaust shop to fab you a custom Y pipe ... Dyno tune ... & your seriously not gonna leave the car =p

Ls6 intake can be found as cheap as 5$ .. Hell, I got mine for 3$ from a local junkyard shshshshshs look around for those 85mm MAF from a denali (junkyards are these cars goldmines )
Anyway ... Don't spend money on brand names ... Spend it where its worth the $. Dyno tune is a must !!
