I have a 2003 Coupe with a few mods. Am wondering what would be the next step to take in affordable mods.

I now have:
Z06 suspension
Bilstein Shocks
3:42 Gears
Yank SS3200 TC
Vararam w/K&N
Smooth Inlet Tube
Corsa Pace Car Exhaust

Give me some ideas and or opinions on what should be next...
Thanks..........

Next thing I would do would be headers and x-pipe, then heads and cam.

Edit: A supercharger is always nice too.

I recommend you use my car as a test mule for your up coming mods. I'll let you know how the mods work and then you can add another set to your car. I suggest you start with LG LT headers, high flow cats and X-pipe. Then we can move to the heads and cam package.

I agree on the long tube headers, x-pipe with hi-flo cats. It'll add a nice kick in the azz!
