Default 03 Z mods

I have a 03 Z, so far I've put on just the b&b bullet exhaust, a vortex ram air, and a short shifter. I'm about to add some long tube headers and X pipe. But what are some suggestions on what else I can add? I thought maybe my intake to a fast intake bigger injectors? I want to in the future put a super charger so I don't want to put a cam in.

I would just leave it to adding the long tubes, unless you plan on a Cam.

The fast 92 would help with performance some, but if you are going to Supercharge, I would consult a Corvette performance shop on the SC you plan to install and get their recommendations.

Performance components need to be matched correctly, not just pulled off a shelf. You could spend a wad of cash without any real long term benefit.

The Long Tubes will help with a SuperCharger or naturally aspirated upgrades. That is one component that is going to help performance either way and can be used as an incremental upgrade path.

I track my C5Z so I went with seats, harness bar, brakes, coilovers, sway bars, fluid coolers, etc. If you know where you want to end up (blower) then talk to a speed shop like MTI racing in ATL to make sure you are putting on compatible parts......by the way, I have seen a few of their supercharged LS engines and they are wicked.
