Default Suggestions for next mods...

I just put in the B&M Ripper shifter, and tomorrow my Corsa Indy's should be coming. But, my question is, what is a good plan for other performance mods on a M6 car with a K&N Halltech filter? I'm trying to maybe form a plan for the future and I could use some suggestions.

Chris

In my humble opinion I believe you should consider porting the heads next.
This will make the most unbelievable difference even if you do not add a cam or an LS6 intake manifold, headers or underdrive pulley.

I spent literally thousands of dollars bolting on before engine and after engine parts and made about 50 more rear wheel horsepower.

you could get 50 from just the heads.

Just my .02 worth.

Good Luck!

Is that a job that can be done at home with a die grinder or the sort of thing that should be sent out to have done?

You would probably want to send them out. Actually you can buy bolt on CNC machined heads and upgraded hardware from many vendors. They take your old heads as trade in.

Hope this helps!

It's definitely a good consideration.
