Default So, Whats next for me?

I finally picked up another car as a DD...even though the vette hasnt been my DD for a long time anyhow.

I dont have to worry about sometimes having to drive it during the week. So, I'd like to know whats next for...if theres even an option.

00 MN6
4.10s
AFR 205s
LG G5X2 112 LSA
Spec Clutch + Lightened flywheel
TPIS Headers
Borla Stingers
Haltech Trap with license plate hole cut out
CCWs with Nitto road race tires on all 4 sides

I think thats basically it...may be missing something or another from the list. Anyways...the car made like 440 at the wheels...then Phil97svt re-did the tune and he said it should have picked up another 10-20hp.... So, i'm assuming i'm at 450-460 at the rear wheels.

Do I have the option of doing anything else to the car...or am I maxed out basically as a NA.
I'm not looking to get another motor as long as this one works...does this mean that i'm basically maxed out?

Any F/I guys out there wanna switch to NA...we could do a swap
Wouldnt mind trying something new....

Thanks for the help

A FAST Intake and 90mm Throttle Body will get you a few more. Or you could switch to an G5X-3 cam.

Have Phil put a 402 in it next winter whe he does mine.

Have you done any suspension mods? Sway bars, shocks, etc? The 90/90 setup on mine was well worth it. You may want to think about that also.
