Here's what you want:

-tunes
-ported throttle body
-ported or filled intake manifold (Working on it! I have an LGX intake on hand now!)
-high flow cat and catless pipe
-intake manifold spacer (1/2 to 3/4") (Probably not gonna happen, due to the layout of the intake ports (angle) on the heads and the bottom of the intake, it would be expensive to manufacture, I don't see anyone tackling the project in the near future. However, the intake already appears to have quite a bit longer runners than the LFX, this thing is super tall, like GM gave a big finger to everyone that's been making spacers since 2010, so the spacer may not even be needed for it's traditional purposes, GM did something right on this intake in a big way, and a lot of ways, but I can still make it better!)
OK....no whos going to make this stuff for the V6 crowd.
Just some of these and you guys will be giving stock 5th gen L99s a hard time.

See my responses to the above in red. I'm pretty sure spacers are a no go, at least at the moment. The intake runners are quite a bit longer... Unless you just wanted an all out torque monster, I don't think the spacers are good, Unless they put the LGX in the Colorado.
I'm working on the porting/filling of the intake right now, right out of the box, it's 12% better than the stock 12-15 LFX manifold, but 10% worse than my modified LFX intake manifold.
I'm just starting to play with it, but I've got a feeling that I can get it to flow at least as good as the ported LFX intake manifold, if not 2x better. This intake manifold is built to flow, it just needs a little helping hand.

You know what's funny about this? There is speculation that the 6th gen v6 may run a 13.3ish 1/4 mile time. An old family friend had a fully restored cream puff 1970 Mach 1 w/ a 428 SCJ, bone stock. That's real close to what it would run on a good day... It made me extremely happy to beat him repeatedly with my low budget SBC 355 in a heavy 71 Chevelle that was 4 different colors.
