It is time for the first engine mod and would welcome recommendations on what would be the next logical mod considering what we have to start with (see signature below), but we are basically talking about an stock '02 SS w/345 hp SLP package w/dual/dual exhaust. Prefer reasonably priced bolt-on suggestions. Thanks.

Here's some suggestions.... not knowing just what SLP mods you already have.....
An air filter lid (SLP, MTI, others) & filter
MAF (SLP, Granetelli)
If you're up to the cost.... Headers will give you the most gains without opening the engine. Don't bother with short tubes...very little, if any, gains. If you're going to do it, go long tube.

Thanks for all the responses! My goals are not specific, just a little more horsepower. Have put 10K on the car and we are used to the power and would just like to do a little something to feel a little more in the seat of the pants. Keep the great suggestions coming! What about a "Y" pipe change? Any gains to be had there?

I've got the 4.10 gears and it is a definite noticeable improvement. I'm mostly doing suspension mods right now, the cars already have all kinds of power, I want the car to be able to handle it before I add more power.
