Default what should I do next?

I have an 01 z06 with a vararam intake, a ghl exhaust, and a b&m short throw shifter, what should I get next? I was thinking about either obx or tsp headers with cats cause I have nj inspection. In the future im thinking of procharging it. What else would be a good mod for my car?

A mail order tune from one of the vendors for $150 is probably the best value at this point.

Even if you don't get headers the tune is worth it. Much better throttle response and cooler running.

If you have the cash on hand do headers first then get the tune. A tune now would be helpful as posted above but if you then decide to do headers, you will have to get the car re-tuned.

As all will agree, mod bug doesn't stop after one upgrade so planning out your moves will save you some cash. Headers would be a major need if you did supercharge it so if that is your plan looks like headers and a tune is your answer.
