Default Mod. question.

What is the best performance mod. (or combination of mods.) with a budget of $2000 for an '03 Z06. Already have a Vararam. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'd buy $2000 worth of Gasoline. The car already has enough power. Anything you do to mod it will just detract from it's drivability.

I'd do headers and programming. With that combination, combined with your Vararam, you should be at 380+ rwhp.
