1. Personally, I'd look for a FAST92/92 setup, but LS6 is a respectable budget intake.
2. No head swap? If that's the case, I would get as much out of the swap as possible.
3. Long Tubes = awesome. If you're lowered, you'll want to rethink the duals. They sit REALLY low and you'll scrape on everything. A nice setup including a 3" off road y-pipe and a "catback" exhaust will flow just as good as duals, and still sounds good.
4. General rule: A4 = 3.73, M6 = 4.10/4.11
5. Tune = needed.
People say that you loose driveability, blah blah blah. I drove my H/C/I Trans Am every nice day last year. Yes, it takes some getting used to, buit you'll adapt and learn how it feels, and son you'll be driving it like it's a stock car.2000 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 M6: 427ci LS3, Built T56, Moser 9" w/ 4.11 Gearing, Full Suspension, and 6-point Cage.

Have you beefed up the suspension and drivetrain yet? If not, I'd look into doing that first. SFCs, torque arm, panhard bar, rear end, ect. It's not going to add to the power of the car, but it will help to keep you from breaking the stock pieces.

Yeah I'm keeping stock heads for now and ill look into maybe gettin a user fast intake what kind of power do you think I could make on this set up? ..... and as far as suspension goes I've already got a shopping list of parts I'm getting....I want to get all the parts and spend like a week putting it all together so I can go Basicly from stock to a monster and show up to our Friday night car meet

Don't know if its on your pays list yet, bit if you plan on running sticky tires look into a 12 bolt or 9" for when you blow your 10bolt apart
Can't really give you a good number, but you will get a big increase all acrossed the rpm range (may lose alittle down off idle) but it will make you happy

Yeah the rear is on the list too but ill just be running street tires for now I saw a lot from moser somewhere to upgrade the 10 bolt bolt for pretty cheap might do that or get a used rear
And who needs low end torque when you have high end horsepower!!!

Anytime you run a MS3 with full bolt-ons plan on something in the 400rwhp range.
