If you want the most out of the car, a custom 2.5in dual exhaust is what most will do, no cats, with an X pipe, unless there is a catback for the LS that already does that. The GS guys can use aftermarket ISF exhausts with a little fab work.

Then see if you can get a tune, that'll easily push it over 400hp, if I had an LS its what I would have done years ago.
Any mods you recommend for a GS 430 4.3L?

The 430 doesn't respond well to NA mods without spending a ton of money.

I would go with the Elate supercharger kit as they can be found used for less than 5k.

with the supercharger though, it needs to be tuned or else there's no benefit correct? can I just get it tuned to be quicker without the super charger?

Nope, like I said, the 430 does not respond well to NA mods, they are very slow unless you get a turbo or supercharger. You will never be quicker with just a tune.

That's why people like those engines so much, because they can handle boost without being opened up.
