Looking for advice.
Thinking of taking my Z to the next level. It's an '02 with Magnuson supercharger. Installed and tuned by Lingenfelter, dyno'ed at 498 rwh with modest boost and Borla S exhaust.
Looking at new cam and springs and replace h-pipe with x-pipe and tune.
Does this sound right, and more importantly, who can I trust to do the work? I'm in NY so someone on the east coast would be a plus but not a necessity. I want a Reliable LS expert.
Thanks in advance!

We would be happy to help you, but whether it's us or another reputable shop I would suggest keeping it near home. There's no reason to travel far with what you are looking for and it's easier for future maintenance to go back to that shop.

Do you have long tube headers on your car? I see you mentioned a cat back but I didn't see any mention about headers? If you are still running the stock manifolds, I would strongly suggest going with a set of long tubes. Between the current mods and intended future mods, sticking with the stock manifolds is really corking your setup and leaving quite a bit of HP on the table.

It has a Donaldson Blackwing intake that was part of the Lingenfelter install.

Luv my LG’s! Running into Random Tech Cats, X pipe, then into Borla Stingers. Got them JET-HOT coated too.
