The engine you have is an LS1. Probably start with a intake such as the Black Wing then have it tuned with LS1 edit. Maybe throw on some headers and high flow cats with exhaust.

Who really cares what a dyno says? Will the car, push you back in the seat? Isn't that all that really matters?

You wouldn't have to do the dyno tune, nor would you have to do the Yank TC.
What made me like this mod, was that i have the feel of a high horsepower engine upgrade, but didn't have to break the seal on my 2004 engine. For what ever reason, that was a BIG deal to me.
