Default What to do next?

98 C5 Vette 6Spd, K&N Cai, B&M Shift Kit, Full Longtube headers back exhaust no muffs, 360WHp Dyno Tuned

HSW Wet Kit?
Flywheel+clutch?
LS6 Intake and matching parts? Getting price pms for this atm.


I know a head and cam set up would be more beneficial but atm 3grand just aint in my budget.

Just trying to inch out some more HP within a budget.
Any other thoughts?

cheapest hp for the dollar would be the wet kit, but sooner or later your gonna need a new clutch.
you could probally get all 3 for under 3 grand. if you bought the nitrous and intake used and installed them yourself (not hard). then had someone install a clutch.

Good point, I have a link to a good intake swap guide. I have seen a set of LS6 Heads on here for a decent price also as those would be sat aside till I could afford a decent cam
