Engine build choices
Ok I'm looking to get some more power out of my ls1. As of now I have a mostly stock ls1. I have lg pros,x pipe, no cats, corsa touring, port/polished tb, hurst short throw, and the heavy duty brakes. I have 3.90 gears/spec3+/fedenza flywheel that will be going in over winter. I also have a wet nos set up i'm finishing right now. What would be my best bet to make her go a little faster? I'm thinking a cam/pushrod/rollers/some ported oil pump/some double roller timing/power pullies/ls6 intake......or should I just get a ls6 intake? I'd like to get some suggestions on these parts....I only have about 2K to put into the car so thats what I have to work with....lemme know what you guys think....its a 97 m6 c5 by the way....thanks!

The cam will be the best results for the money just under the nitrous system. The ls6 intake will definitely enhance the power the car makes from the cam as well. You have a good base having the exhaust done so a little intake work with a cam will definitely wake it up. Depending on the cam choice you can get around 50 horses out the car.
