Bang for the buck
I am fairly new to the muscle car scene. I have an 02' WS6. What is going
to be the best way to go as far as best horsepower to dollar modification.
Would it be a new cam shaft or something else.

You should go for some headers & a y-pipe (pacesetters are around $300). Another easy way to add some hp is to buy an underdrive pulley (roughly $200 new). Have you already done the free mods?

Free MODS?
Please tell. I have the same car. Except my only mod is a K&N cold air intake. I am about to get underdrive pulleys. I should have them by Monday. And in a couple of weeks I am either going to get a magnaflow exhaust or an LS6 intake manifold. I can't make up my mind. I know someone who wrecked thier WS6 and wants to sell me all the stuff I listed but don't know which is more important. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It's $275 for the intake and $250 for the exhaust.

headers but that would make the loudmouth sound very raspy and bad.

You already have the LS6 intake manifold...they came on all the 01-02's. You could upgrade to a Fast 92mm manifold w/ throttle body though but you'll spend over a grand for them both.

^ thats not worth it unless you have cams or something though. with basic bolt-ons, i doubt there would be much of a difference.

98-02 LS1 BBK SSI-Series Intake Manifold
This is the manifold that this guy is trying to sell me for $275. Is it worth it? It says it adds 12-25 horsepower over the stock manifold 98-02.
