Which to Buy Next

Ok I need help in choosing what to buy next.

I can get either some Strano Sway bars for better handling or I can get the professional products' polished intake manifold and 85mm (78mm stock) polish TB for better looks and more horsepower.

I'm currently running stock sway bars and the stock LS1 intake manifold with a ported and polished TB. So there's a good amount of HP to be made if I do the intake manifold and throttle body. There intake manifold has dyno proven to make more horsepower than the LS6 and the Holley versions.

I think I should add that the intake/tb will cost a good amount more than the sway bars. So I'll be able to get the sway bars and the C5 brake upgrade as a package or the intake/tb combo.

i dont know how much the one he is looking at is, but i would guess an intake and TB is gonna be more than an ls6 wich you can pick up for like $350. you dont need a front sway bar anyways, those are only for those corner things

Yes it will cost more. About $750 for both the intake and TB but it's not just about the extra hp. They will be fully polished so it will really stick out and look better as well. The LS6 looks just like the LS1 intake, dull and boring. Plus you have to remember that I have all the MBA products under there along with a coupld polished items and I've been really trying to clean it up over the past month or so.
I'll try to borrow my dad's SLR camara to take some new pictures so you know what it looks like right now.
Haha yes but I enjoy taking my car on the backroads all the time.

i vote stranos and C5 upgrade makes more sence to control your power than to not be able to use the power to it's full advantage
