Default $900 bucks for Z06 stuff

I get $900 this year for my birthday, and it's going toward my Z. What to buy...what to buy????

I'm wondering what performance mods can be done with this budget. Cam???

I was also considering OEM Z06 chrome wheels for an improvement in "looks", but I would rather spend the dough on "go".

Suggestions appreciated!!

From a performance standpoint, I'd pass for now on Stingers. From an aesthetic standpoint, now that's another story altogether! :yesnod:

For looks, maybe window tint and wheels. I bought a short antennae at Auto Zone for about $7. You might want to get some PIAA1100 driving lights to aid in driving at night.

For go, you could sell your stock exhaust and buy an after market one for not much more than what you will get for you stock ones. You might want to look into the zip tie mod for your airbox and add a hood seal. Cost for that less than $20.

Have fun

I've got the PIAA's in already, and a CAGS skip shift installed. Who sells the long tube headers? ..And how much of a gain with install??

Put in a cold air box such as the Vortex ($230) or Varam ($450).

Depends on if you have any mods yet.

If not, I would suggest, Vortex airbox, Borla Stingers, maybe a shifter.
