Default Your advice Please

I have a close to stock 01 vert, added exhaust, air assembly and predator tune. Would an ls6 head intake and TB be a smart move? On a budget but want to be sure of what I install.

Thanks

Can you be more specific of "added exhaust" and "air assembly"? Are you talking a cat back and a cold air intake? I just need a little more info to help you with your question.

You already have the LS6 style intake and TB. I would improve the exhaust flow (headers) before going into heads, but thats just me.

I would get rid of the Predator tune and get it tuned by a professional. Dyno tune would be best. This would be the best bang for the buck without going into more radical set-ups like head/cam, rear-end gear, etc.

Get a real tune, make sure the MAF sensor is clean as well as the air filter.

Also, do you have an auto or manual?
