Default Want a slight bit more power.

Okay, i've got an Automatic LS as a daily driver, have intake/headers/exhaust as my current mods.
I'm looking for a little bit more power, thats not going to be overly expensive, just to get a bit more passing power on the high way. Want to stay All-Motor, so yeah, any suggestions as to what I could put on for a bit more power? Preferrably something that'll net me a bit of low-mid range torque?

Underdrive pulleys, hmm..Thanks, I'll look into them.

Definately wanna keep Power steering if possible--Makes the numerous u-turns i have to make due to odd store locations much easier.

remove a/c, i dont know if cams would help u out since u have a/t, i think tune up will be your best bet as it may give u some lost hp if ur car has lots of miles on it.

Some good performing tires on a nice set of wheels will help out too.

Hmm, have I reached the peak of power without delving into the expensive mods and drastically hurting ride quality?

Wow.. great way NOT to give information. A new chip? Removing AC?
Ok, for one, the transmission does not in anyway have any direct relation to whether or not you can install cams. In fact, cams are a good upgrade, depending on how much you would like to spend. I'll be honesst, your automatic transmission is the biggest drawback in gaining good power. Its no use to get high power upgrades when your transmission is the weakest link in your set up. Considering doing a transmission swap. There are a few threads circulating right now on HT that are concerning this swap.
