I'd flip this. Alarm first, then good stereo.

Mufflers =Flowmasters - 40 or 44's.

A cold air intake will actually help this as well.

Aftermarket wheels. I prefer 5 spokes but that's just me.

Post some pics of your car for us when you can.

A 2006 LT could come with the 3.5 at 210 hp or the 3.9 at 242, can I ask wich you have? Some of my calculations below are assuming you have a 3.9, subtract 30 to get more close to the numbers for a 3.5

Intake.... Exhaust..... Noone makes a true CAI, so you're currently stuck with buying a cone intake that's in the engine compartment, or a drop in stock replacement filter. That's what I have currently, and it did seem to help somewhat. Exhaust, only place that makes a cat back is Magnaflow. You're talking about 900 to 950 shipped. I would pair this witha High flow catalytic convertor myself... A computer retune should definitely help.

After that? They make "wet" nitrous foggers that spray fuel and NOS to gain up to 75-100 HP, but you do this at the risk of your transmission. The SS's have 303 HP and have a upgraded trans to take the abuse... You won't. I mean a good intake and exhaust and you'll be knocking at 255.. a retune? possibly 265-275... That's getting into heavy duty territory right there. The old supercharged 3.8's with 240 hp and 280 TQ also got the upgraded HD transmission. I assuming mainly because of the heavy increase intorque, but that's food for thought.
