Best Bang For the Buck Performance Mods...
Well my stereo system is about complete next week the final touches will be put on. Its in the car workin but we estimate it weighs a bit over 300lbs... Yeah I know a LOT of weight. However its over the rear wheels which has helped traction.
Now I would like to add some performance mods. My car is stock except for the cold air screens that the previous owner installed.
I'm thinkin about takin off the factory box and strappin down a K&N filter... Any other tips?
Need the most performance for the buck out of the mods... Thanks for your help!!! :cheers:

Pulling hte lid of the airbox is an easy upgrade, and it is cheap. Thinggs after that start to add up. If you want to to do H&C w/ headers figure a budget of around $7K installed. If you area DIY'er you can shave that down some. Also, you can shop the parts around and save bit of money.
Gears are a good upgrade.
Headers depending on what you go with can help some and can cost between $700 and $2300.
Again, it depends on you budget...

If you have base suspension, some Bilsteins will help manage that bundle in the twisties :D $300 for the set. Same with Z06 sway bars.
I picked up a slightly used K&N filter with Z06 lid for $65 shipped a while back. Great starting mod. Blackwing is another but runs $100 more

Re: Best Bang For the Buck Performance Mods... (boost2much)
I love the twisties too!! :D
After doing the box I will probaly go with the Blistiens and the ZO6 sway bar since I want to lower it anyway.
Then maybe mess with the intake system more and grab the LS6 intake.. HUmm will keep lookin around..
