Yeah depends what you're looking for. I did mainly appearance mods first, but here's what I did. Maybe you can find something...I know some of the performance stuff is obviously more than $300 but that's what saving is for right

Completed...

Custom FRCs
Custom lid
Brass headlight gears
Decals
Custom floor mats
Embroidered headrests
White gauge overlays
Clear sidemarkers
Chrome caps in engine bay
Engine dressup covers from TSS (battery, pcm, fuse, tcs box)
Custom plates
Strut brace

Next...

LT Headers + ORY
Stall
LS6 intake
Strano lowering springs
Koni shocks
SFCs
TT2s + new radial drags
Cam
Tune

well i was thinking about buying a set of Patriot Gold valve springs, right now while i have the money and then buying the cam a little later. but maybe a pair of subframe connectors (not sure to get the weld in or bolt on type) would be good to get now. dont really go to the track at all, its just a DD.

I really enjoyed getting my SFC's And there not to much...

**onetroubledguy** · 04-01-2009, 11:02 PM

It's a DD and you're getting a cam? You should probably get a stall before the cam but then again it's a DD right?

a have some bran new hooker headers painted black i paid $350. im trying to sell them for 300. its a nice hp bolt on. get an ls6 intake too, most used are around 300-350. i got the ls6 intake super hooker headers 3in y pipe hook to borla mufflers wich i want to trade for an x-pipe n go with some bullet mufflers and im saving to get a cam and tune for my dd.

**shady milkman** · 04-02-2009, 11:59 AM

lower control arms..adjustables from umi performance. those are great. for 300 there isnt alot...a shaner s3 throttle body ..or a exhaust cutout

**c5z28** · 04-02-2009, 12:22 PM

used nitrous kits go for that price, now go buy one.

**thiscatiskool** · 04-02-2009, 12:26 PM

i think i might buy a pair of set of pacesetters and wait and save up a little more to put them on and get em tuned at the same time

Dont even think about a cam right now if all oyu have to spend is 300 bucks. Buy it as a package deal. Buying a set of valve springs and looking at them for months will not be money well spent. Buy the cam all at once (package deal), and thats going to run you over a grand plus tune. SFC are always a plus. These cars need them, badly. Forget about the bolt on, buy some weld in(your choice of brand really) 2 or 3 point. That will be money well spent.

Headers is a great mod, but does not require tuning really. You will need o2 extensions. But SFC, Headers, and a Stall should be your first 3 mods IMO.

**c5z28** · 04-03-2009, 08:40 PM

The bitch is you can get a stall for around 300, or headers for 300 but you have to facter in labor and or tuning. Gears would be great to but labor is a bitch.

**00LS12LS6Z28** · 04-03-2009, 10:17 PM

Get Sub frame connectors or lowering springs....or like you said save up and get pacesetters....It all depends on what your priority is, speed, handling, or appearance.

Install on gears shouldnt be more than 130 or so. I think I was told slightly under that for my 4.11 install on my 12 bolt.
