Default Would like some advice please.

Currently I have been going through my options on my 03 Z06. There are a few things that I would like to do but I am torn between doing one of two things. Headers/mid-pipe or Cam w/ springs etc.

I have always had my cars cammed (04 Cobra, 99 T/A, 5.0 Fox, etc.). On some of those previous cars, I just did the cam and not LT's. I am not the type to try and squeeze every hp out of the motor.

I just recently got a quote from a well-known shop that I have always had work on my cars (I will hide the name for now).

Here is what it came down to:

Kook's LT's/X-pipe/install/Tune: $2500 total

Comp Cam/springs/install/tune: $1700 total

Now, Would I necessarily be a bad thing to just do the cam/tune and no LT's?

Which would you go with and why?

Just kind of looking for direction here.

Thank you for your time.

The cam will give you more hp.....the LT's will give you more torque. To be honest, I'd save up and do them both at the same time. They really compliment each other
