Question, what can I do to make my LS faster and stronger, on a budget hah. I have already installed a K&N drop in air filter, what else can I do and what are the approximate costs?
you should get a turbo. that will be fun. but it won't be budget.
The only reason you have a budget for working on the LS is so that you can complain about it being busted. True story.

Work on efficiency, power and speed will follow.
The engine is an air pump, remove air flow restrictions from the induction to the exhaust. Read up on basic hydrodynamics (flow of water) since it relates to air flow. That will help you visualize how air flows to your engine and out the exhaust.
A tune or intake wont make it faster. Intake will give it better sound an appearance, tune will help it shift and come off the line better but if you want faster you can get a bottle, forced induction, engine swap or a different car.
You're not going to get big number without spending big bucks.
with this car, your lucky to get medium numbers with big bucks!![]()
175K on mine and no bang yet though it would SUCK to have another $5K into it and go bang.then tune, then bottle, then tune, then more bottle, wait for the bang, then new motor with options a lot of money
(substitute air compressing device of your choice in lieo of bottle if your pockets are unusually heavy and need to be lightened up)
