Seriously - good looking car! Love that color.

The air intake is a good idea for mods that are easily revertible to stock. I know K&N makes a system for your car that runs about $250 to $260 from authorized retailers, not including tax or shipping. Saw a dyno graph of 13hp on a 2012 V6.

It is amazing how smaller motors can make great HP these days - the LaCrosse I have has the same motor as yours in a FWD configuration and makes 280hp (newer years have up to 323) and moves out pretty darn well (probably a high 14 second car). But a 325hp LS1 in a 4th gen puts out a lot more power under the curve than the 3.6L can, which would make it quite a bit faster, not counting the weight difference either.
