Default 3500 to spend

Basically I have 3500 dollars to spend and have a stock LS with an intake, and exhaust and wanted to know what should i do in order to get a huge increase in power, and also keep it as a daily driver.

LS Turbo or should i work my way up to getting to the turbo, headers, cams, wires? ecu flashes? tuning

possibly build a cheap homemade turbo setup, or buy a used complete turbo kit for cheap, then spend the rest on tuning and engine management.. about 3500 should be able to get you a decent turbo tuned with chrome or neptune.

If your working your way up to installing a turbo, then you should take the header off your list and the cams should be chosen for the turbo application.

Search around for other people setups. It all depends on what you want to do and how much power you are looking to make.

turbo, or work on suspension and wheels so when u do boost ur ride is flyyyyy. i just spent around 3500 on suspension, wheels, and intake and i love it. its no boost but i wanted to be slammed and have nice wheels before i boost. just preference. if ur just going for hp gains then go with boost.
