Default New Mods

Well since i havent had a good christmas or birthday these last couple of years do to my parents financial situation, and their newly aquired large amounts of cash, i got a check for 1600bucks from my parents to spend on whatever i wanted. So these last 3 days ive been reading and searching and calculating and eveyrthing i can to try and find the best combination of parts that will get me the best performance for the money. So i want you guys to give me some ideas on what i should go with, as of right now the car has SLP Lid, SLP Smooth Bellows, 3" YPipe with full 3" exhaust into a hooker aerochamber muffler and into 3" duals and chrome Z28 style tips, HPTuners with a Decent Tune, C6 Z06 Rims with Sumimoto Tires, and most all free mods. GIVE ME SOME IDEAS!!!!!!

**edit**
i dont want to go forced induction or nitrious at this point. thanks.

Save up and buy some kickass heads and a cam. Cam will get you peak numbers. Heads will help below the curve.

I highly recommend SLP too if you want to pay a ridiculous amount for your parts.

I missed that he didn't' have headers. But yea those may be a bitch to put in, but they make a world of difference. Also if you get a cam you're gonna need springs. Which is why I recommend getting new heads at the same time, it's no more pain in the ass really to just swap the heads because you're going to pull the stockers anyway. Grab some headers from FBC at the least though. Their prices are pretty damn good.

Thanks Special K, I preciate the support. If you guys haven't checked it out, we're running 5% off across the board. Tough time of year for orders, but if there is something you want last minute, give me a call.
