Default What to do next on my car to make it faster?

I have a 2006 Monte Carlo SS with a Cold Air Inductions intake and Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers installed. I was thinking of 3" piping for the exhaust next. Suggestions needed for next performance upgrades as im not very car savvy.

Thanks,

-Elliott

You don't need dual 3" exhaust IMO.

You could always go with boost... google LS4 cartuning turbo kit.

Your transmission can barely handle a stock engine.

I have the cartuning kit. It's the best money that I've ever spent. Still on the stock tranny. I know that a replacement/upgrade is in the future for me though. Two years now with the turbo. No problems yet...

Thanks for the advice. A tune is a must. I cannot stand the sound of the 4 cylinder mode. I would love to have a turbo in the next couple years. MillerMonteSS I bet your Monte is pretty fast.
