Plus the above mods are not expensive. The Y Pipe and Cats or off road pipe and CAI are the most expensive things on that list.

LT1s are rated as having only 10lbs less torque then an LS1 325lbs-335. So it wont take much to match torque. Headers, rockers and cai will put him way ahead. Descreening the MAF helped my car a small amount, nothing huge or anything but it wont hurt it. With the exhaust you already have go for CAI, then headers if you have the time and the ability to put them in, then i would get gears. Set of 4:10s and that will get you ahead of your friend. If its a WS6 then youll have a little more work to do.

LT1's have a flatter torque curve than LS1's do, the LS1's just peak about 10 ft/lb higher so matching the torque can be done with any bolton. The HP is what u need the LT's, CAI, and catback for to match, and if an 01 or 02 LS1, u need 1.6 or 1.7RR and tune as well to match the xtra few HP from the LS6 intakes.

Do the Basics, CAI, cat-back if able remove the cat, LT headers, 160 deg therm Good tune and you'll be close. Add some gears and you'll leave im. (if he remains stock)

he has an 01 trans am hes completely stock, after his car payment he has no $$ to mod lol did the 01 01 ls1's come with ls6 intakes? what else is different from the 98-00? what headers do you guys reccomend i have to keep my cats and 02 sensors or get some simulators but wouldnt that throw off my fuel mixture when i bypass my 02's? thx

Yup 01 T/a's and Camaros came with the LS6 Intake...gave it a few extra ponies but not much. He kinda has the advantage cause his car will always run consistaintly with an automatic, but if you can drive your M6 consistaintly should be a good match.
Again, get some headers, Catback, CAI, possibly 3:73's or 4:10's and i think you'll see a very close match...
