Heads ,cam, longtube hedders and a tune. This if done correctly will exceed the power of a C5 Z (easily).
Also a Z intake or a FAST.

So will a blower.

I doubt that you've exploited the handling capabilities of you current setup. But if you want to spend money you should look at new sways (Z06) and Z06 shocks for starters.

Get a blackwing, port your Tbody(don't know if actually makes a difference), can't remember if you have an LS6 intake stock (I think you do), but if you do I wouldn't change, at least not yet. Good set of Long tubes, high flow cats or no cats, decent cat back. I added an Electric WP to free up a little more HP and had a good dyno tune... netted me 358 RWHP. That's ZO6 HP. Now the gearing in the Z06 is more aggressive and suspension stuff, but still should be close for you and not as difficult as a cam. Now, a cam/heads would really make the big difference then you'd smoke a stock Z06. Both cars kick serious azz.... good luck.
