I have personally built Big Block Chevy, Small Block Chevy, Olds, Pontiac and Buick engines but I know nothing about modern LS engines. This is a great video. There are a few companies that sell dyno tuned matched parts like heads, intake cam lifters, tune so you pretty much know what you will get.

I don't know what your power goals are? To start I would run a full exhaust, vararam intake, and a tune. That will definitely wake the car up and sound much better. Run a name brand exhaust. Remember vararam will show no power on a dyno, but worth every penny. Go on you tube and start listening to exhaust clips. Good luck.
