Default Need Performance Advice

I have a 2001 LS1 that I have installed TPIS long tube headers, Bossani exhaust & intercooled supercharger. I have been thinking of replacing the heads & cam but not sure if it is worth the money. Also can you replace the LS1 intake with a LS6 intake. I have noticed in some of the catalogs the stopping year is 2000. If so is it a mod that will make a big dif? :auto:

I can't say whether or not you should replace the heads and cam on your motor but I can say you probably already have the LS-6 intake, In the middle of the 2000 production year GM decided to simplify their parts and got rid of the LS-1 intake, so starting somewhere mid 2000 all of the C5's built came with an LS-6 intake.
What type of supercharger do you have and how much boost are you making?

:iagree: You probably already have the LS6 intake and we really need to know what your setup is. :cheers:
