Advice for LS1 mod
I'm looking to add some hp to my car. It's a 98 auto with the 3:15 rear.
Currently have the vararam,X-pipe,B&B Bullet Quad tips. The rest is all stock.
What other bolt ons do you guys recommend and guesstimate HP increase.
I want to keep my stock heads and cam for now.
In the next couple of years I'm going to built an engine and accomplished the swap then but for now I would like some extra power.
I don't drag but do open it up on the interstate.

LT headers and a LS6 intake manifold. The manifold is good for around 10rwhp and the headers I would guess 15-20rwhp.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this but before you get the LT's and tune, consider getting a better air bridge (you said u have the vararam but not the duct).
As someone also mentioned, the LS6 intake manifold would be nice and while you're at it, get a ported and polished stock TB. The can be had from the auction site for next to nothing when you return your core. It's not much of an increase--if any--but you do feel a better, more crisp throttle response.
Just saying get all the rinky-dink stuff out of the way before you get a tune.
