Hmm maybe a used ls6 intake, sounds like your bf has a pretty decent car.

Only thing really left is a lid, tune, or ls6 intake (bad idea for the money since you don't have any internal mods yet -- not going to make a TON of difference for $300+)

Get him a lid with new filter and a ported throttle body. Either that or a used LS6 intake. Maybe some weld in sub frame connectors and pan hard bar (suspension). GL!

sorry i wasnt too specific, he already has a tune, and a new lid and filter. Any other ideas? I'm considering the throttle body.

If you're looking for power, the LS6 intake is about the only other feasible option -- unless he's considering changing the exhaust (True Dual with X-pipe from www.texas-speed.com is the best exhaust for sound and power they make for LS1s) or getting some 1.8:1 roller rockers..... You sound like a really cool GF! Kudos to him!
