Can you be any more vague? Do some searching. Power costs money... how fast do you want to go?

Agree
How much power you want? In other words how much are you willing to spend?

Bolt ons like LT headers, Vararam and Z06 intake should pretty much eat up the 2 grand. Good mods for instant SOTP response and you're building a good platform to build on down the road (ie Heads & Cam)
