    I would personally pass on the weiand intake and TB and look into a set of longtube headers and Y pipe. then maybe do a ls6 or the weiand intake...

    Headers, rockers and valve springs. Stock intake flows enough to handle basic stuff like that already.

    ^^His car is a 99, so he would benefit from adding an LS6 intake.

    At minimum headers. If you only had the money for a cam or manifold after that get the cam, the ls-6 only starts to outshine the ls-1 after 3500 and it isn't much, but the manifold will make a difference after a cam.
    Yeah and you'll find a way out of your driveway

    Price is the difference. From pacesetters on up they all fit about the same. As far as stock cubes are considered 1 3/4" primary and 3'' at the collector.

    do you think there would be a big difference between the hooker comp and super comp headers i know that the super comp has equal length primary tubes but its a street car ive had it a year and havent even put 3000 miles on it yet

    I'd go with a 1 7/8" primary. Kooks if you can afford them, or TSP if you can't. Even on a stock motor the 1 7/8" make a noticeable difference (15hp and about 2ftpds on average lost I think according to TSPs dyno results)

    He's on stock cubes 1 7/8ths is overkill. Besides the money could be better spent on a cam(if he had the money). The power difference is so minimal you would need bigger cubes and the exhaust to regain your lost torque.

    I would ask yourself the ultimate goal. I would get the cheaper of the ceramic coated and call it a day, you still need to buy o2 extensions and a y-pipe or duals(hint) You can find some nice deals actually on ls1tech for some used ones.

    Well you clearly don't know what your talking about. Its a PROVEN fact that on a STOCK motor. Yes, BONE stock motor, the 1 7/8ths headers proved to make roughly 15hp MORE than a 1 3/4" header with only a COUPLE foot pounds of torque lost. I repeat, a COUPLE, as in 2 foot pounds of torque. Not even noticable...

    I want proof too, I am highly doubting 15 hp and 2 ft-lbs loss with that minimal of size gain. I run hookers, and have no scraping issues or banging issues in the last 5 years of ownership. Only scraping I have gotten is my old true duals. 1 3/4 for my hookers. I highly recommend them.

    i found this, but they tested pace setters and then their own so who knows if the results were biased. i would like to find an outside source that did the testing

    There ya go...I saw another comparo somewhere where the numbers where a little different, but still. Even on a stock motor its obvious the 1 7/8ths make more power. At least the TSP vs. Pacesetters do, but regardless.
