Question Questions from a new LS1 owner

What are some inexpensive mods besides nitrous that I can do to my WS6 to get it right at 400 horsepower? I know it shoudn't be hard since its already at the mid 300 mark already. Thanks

My system really doesn't weigh that much at all. I have my sub in a closed box that isn't really any bigger than the sub, and my amp is very light weight. I was thinking about putting headers on my car, and probably a new exhaust system. I mean, getting 60-70 horses shouldn't be THAT hard with bolt ons should it? I thought that I could get around 35 horses with headers and a new exhaust.

you will get more like 25hp from long tube headers and a cat back exhaust. realistically.

And most of that gain is from the headers if not all. The WS6 exhaust is already pretty good. Have you looked at it? It's huge!!!
