Intake, headers, tuning (LS1Edit) if you are talking bolt-on's. Nitrous yield's the most HP per $ spent, if you plan to go with a power adder.
Also a driving school and seat time will do more for how fast you can drive than any of the above.

Re: best value upgrades for Z06 (lizizvette)
It would be a little more interesting if you said what you wanted to upgrade.
Looks? Interior, exterior or both
Engine, exhaust, wheels, audio, etc.
Its difficult to make realistic suggestions without more details.
You can do anything and remember its up to you how you spend ypur money. If you are not sure just send me the cash, not a check, and I will spend it for you.

Quite a few mods are very cost effective. The guys here all give you some great choices. Why not read as much as you can on this forum and after a little time decide which one or combo thereof suits you and your budget the best. Good luck and keep us posted on what you do. :cheers:

A short throw shifter is a great mod. And realtively inexpensive compared to most mods out there.

Shifter is good....tactile enjoyment $300
Blackwing...horsepower. $300
Headers...maybe not a bang for the buck...but a good one $1000
