There really is no single combination that can be defined as the "best." It depends on what you want from the car. How much power are you trying to make vs. how much driveability are you willing to sacrifice vs. you're budget. There will always be trade offs and compromises. I am very happy with my setup, but it would be too much for some, but not nearly enough for others. Others will probably respond, but you really need to give the members an idea on what you are looking for before they can help narrow your choices. Modded Vettes are a ton of fun. Good luck

If you just want to beat that cobra, I would complete the nitrous and see where your at. A 250 wet shot with slicks should put him in your rearview. You probably want to look at hardened output shafts first though.

^^And beef up the drivetrain some like the clutch if you have a manual or the tranny/torque converter is you have an auto.
