CAI, headers, UD pulley, TB, tune & tranny tune. You could do nitrous but, this is the extent of performance mods without cracking anything open.
If your willing to dig into other areas you can do a stall and gears and suspension work. But, if you do any of the latter mods or tune you might as well crack it all open. |

Like these guys already mentioned. Long tube headers are going to make the biggest jump power wise for bolt ons and we always recommend a tune with headers. A cold air intake is another great way to make some easy power and usually every ones first mod. If you want to kill it out of the hole and hit the track you'll want a torque converter as well. We have plenty of options, feel free to give us a buzz!

I have an L99 as well and was seeking more oompph/power : >)
Warning----Doing this leads to wanting more and more power : >) I had an ADM CAI installed along with Headers, Magna flow tubes, change up in gearing and a tune. Car is NIGHT AND DAY different!!!! This cost around $3500 but was well worth it IMO. However, as stated earlier I am now wanting MORE POWER!!!! Trust me the above is a VERY VERY noticeable difference...The car gets up and goes now. In fact here is my sheet. However now looking into Super charger to kick it up even further. |

Check the stickys for V8 performance upgrades. Should be a good place for you to start looking.

I've been curious about an UD pulley lately. Did you guys notice good gains with it? Any adverse reactions like low voltage or anything?
