I already have a dual flowmaster exhaust and basically all rebuilt inside, but as far as more horsepower. What can I do? Prices? Websites to look at?

Q: What air intake (induction) upgrades are available? (All)
A: A number of companies sell replacement air intakes for between $130 and $350. Using of one of these intakes along with a K&N air filter can be good for a 10-20 hp increase. An aftermarket exhaust should be installed in addition to an aftermarket induction system for the best performance gains. Although, nothing says one mod should be done before the other. Here are some companies providing systems:
Arizona Speed&Marine 602-437-2510
C&L Performance 205-882-6813
Callaway 800-231-1121
Car Pro Motorsports 800-670-8862
GM Performance Parts (local dealer)
Hennessey 703-849-5081
L.G. Motorsports 214-272-7753
Lingenfelter 219-724-2552
K&N Filtercharger (local shop)
Paxton/Granatelli 805-987-5555
Random Technologies 770-978-0264
Saga Enterprises 909-275-0726
Prices range from $150 to $300 depending on the extent and the quality of replacement parts. Kits like Hennessey are plastic and replace the air box right up to the MAF, while Arizona S&M are chrome replacing the air box up to the MAF as well. Saga is a bolt-on scoop which goes under the front driver-side fender, giving a ram-air effect into the stock set-up. One other alternative is the Tornado Air Management System (800-500-8880) which costs around $70. It's a centrifigal air accelerator that fits into the air intake between the air filter and throttle body. It swirls the air, thereby accelerating it (like ram-air) and smoothes the flow reducing turbulence and allowing more air to be available per cubic inch for combustion.
Good luck!
Ps-If, it is a V6 we're talkin about here. There is links in the links below that pertaining to the V6 performance, also.

Nitrous oxide system---most bang for the buck and only comes on under full acceleration or WOT usually...does not alter normal performance and fuel economy...takes about 5-6 hours to install. Stick with a system that adds about 100 HP assuming you have a small V-8

There are several things you can do for horsepower. You can upgrade/add:
- headers
- heads
- camshaft
- intake
- air lid (replace factory air box)
- nitrous kit
- stroker kit
- forced induction (supercharger/turbo)
It all depends on how much power you want, or what you want the car to do. I'd recommend reading the forums at
http://www.ls1tech.com
You will find a lot of your answers there, as well as several links for parts. Personally, I shop for parts using these two links:
http://www.ls1speed.com
http://www.texas-speed.com
Hope that helps. Happy modding!

If you have a v8 there are places to look that will have more info than you could imagine. If its a v6 you can go to the websites below and find a v8 or find a turbo/supercharger for the v6 and add different gears to the rear. Remember that its going to cost to play, and your going to have to upgrade your tranny/rearend to handle the power.

Check SLP, you can get a better MAF, Air box lid and a "Preadator" programer and a cooler thermostat. Check the internet, LS1.com, and a few Trans am sites have same parts that will work on your Camero.
