I have an 05' LSE V8 w/ exhaust, XCal, and CAI. 100 shot N20 will be on in a couple days... what else is there as far as perfomance parts available for my car without going supercharger or Turbo?

Thats about it, from the bolt on perspective. I imagine you could dig into the heads for power, but thats getting really into it.

As far as things ready made for the Gen 2 Ls V8, there isn't much. The SCT Xcal2 is one and then there are three different places that offer a CAI for these, one of whom is me.

Porting and polishing the heads is something that could yield some additional power, but like 02LSE said, how far do you really want to get into it? Cams could be another custom thing to have made for the LS. That will be quite expensive being that no one makes any aftermarket cams for these cars. Totally custom grinds get REAL expensive REAL quick! You could have a machinist fabricate some underdrive pullies for your car. Again, very expensive and not a lot of power gain to money spent ratio in my eyes.

The bolts ons and shot of nitrous is about the best way to go without digging into the engine. Speaking of which.... What type of shot are you going with? Wet, dry??? I am guessing wet, but have been surprised before.

My setup that will be arriving within the next week will be a few fun pieces of equipment. Anyways, good to see another Gen2 turning good times. Hope to see you accompany me into the 12's here shortly. ;)
