You have the 1LS, what year? 2010 and 2011 have the LLT engine in which you could put headers on and high flow catalytic converters to gain HP.

If you have 2012 or 2013 you have the LFX engine which there are no manifolds so headers are out and other than the CAI there isn't much to do to improve HP. Exhaust won't change much, but if you are changing out exhaust you may want to look into high flow catalytic converters for the LFX, Solo have HFC's for both the LLT and the LFX that swap out and a gain of 15 HP is claimed. There is the ported throttle body which you will yield very little HP but the throttle response will improve.

GM is already squeezing 323 HP out of the LFX engine so that doesn't leave much room for improving other that the CAI you mention and HFC's. The only other option left for the V6 is forced induction, turbo or supercharger. But in my book if I had that kind of money to burn on FI for a V6 I would have just bought the SS. JMO.
