Help with upgrades... Phoenix chime in
I am coming up on a bonus in a few months and have around 15 to 20k to put into my car. its a 2002 z06 with 16,000 miles. i am pretty set on getting the 2.6l kenne bell package that comes with cold air kit, rk sport hood, 42lb injectors, flash tuner, 76-93mm inlet and a boost a pump. should put me around 569 rwhp and 557 rwtq properly tuned.
besides these upgrades i plan to add JET-HOT Coated Long Tube Header System w/ Random Tech High Flow Cat's, X-Pipe and corsa tigershark exhaust.
what do i need to do to make this safe to drive. hardend main shaft? DTE differential strut kit? i want to spend the least amount possible. will my stock z06 be able to handle 600 rwhp without breaking?
also does anyone know a good shop around Phoenix to install and tune this properly
any help you can give me in making this decison would be greatly appreciated

i spoke with someone at xtreme and they seem to offer reasonable prices. i am going to get a quote to knock everything out at once. thanks again for the recommendation.
any advice on what i will need to keep out of the shop. i dont street race but i would like to go to the track without snapping something
