What Next? Airflow?

Well, Its time to make my car faster again. I was wondering what the next mods should be. I can't afford new heads yet, but would a new MAF, ported TB, LS6 intake help? How much do you think each might help looking at the mods in my sig.

Thanks!!

you could go with some lower control arm relocation brackets thats a cheap 70 dollar mod and is bolt in so it can be done with minimal tools...ls6 intake would be the best of the three ive heard mixed results from larger aftermarket maf's...same with ported TB... but the ls6 intake would give you 10-25 hp guaranteed with your mods...but for that id do the heads at the same time...just get your suspension worked out right now most of that stuff is pretty cheap and you could save for heads and intake in the meantime...personally i wouldnt wast the 300 bucks on a new maf or TB though...but thats me stick with what the known power adders are.

Unless you have one that you didn't put in your sig I'd say you are long overdue for the biggest bang for the buck mod your car can have.

A nice 3500-4400 stall torque converter and trans cooler. It's supposed to cut .5 off the 1/4 mile and be a night and day difference when you get on the gas from a stop or a roll. I can't wait till I have enough saved to buy one for my car. I hate the dead spot in my auto when I punch it from 35 MPH. I hate it so much I actually brake first and then speed up just so my WOT hits in my power band.

But when my TC gets installed I'm gonna say buh bye to dead spots and losing to stock m6's.
