Mod plans
I'm still trying to figure out the details, but I think this is a pretty good selection of parts:
1) B&M Ripper shifter
2) High-flow air bridge
3) Blackwing air intake
4) Kooks 1 7/8" Headers
5) Kooks X-pipe (w/o cats)
6) Borla Stinger (duel tip) exhaust system
7) O2 simulators
8) QTEC duel cut-outs
9) Z06 clutch kit
10) MTI cam & valvetrain kit
11) High-flow water pump
12) 160 degree thermostat
13) Dyno tune
14) Hypertech Power Programmer III
15) 3.73 gears
16) 18" black Z06 rims
17) Nitto 555 R-compound tires
18) Hotchkis front & rear swaybars
19) Slotted & drilled brake rotors
20) High-performance brake pads
I think (hope) the total will come out to be less than $10k.
With these parts, I hope to make over 400 rwhp and run 12's in the 1/4.
What do you think I should change/add/remove (part types, brands, etc.)?
Any comments or suggestions are greatly appriciated.
P.S.- On a side note, after these mods I will be looking at twin-turbo systems.

Personally, I don't know which are or aren't from that list, but some mods might not be "turbo friendly". Make sure you find out first so you don't have to do it twice! Your car is a 6 speed, right? (Z06 clutch, B&M ripper) Shoudn't need the Hypertech (was thinking maybe for gear ratio change but that is on automatics if I'm not mistaken.) What year? What cam??

If your getting it dyno tuned than get rid of the hypertech and 02 sims as you won't need them. I would get a vararam in place of the blackwing, if you want the most from an aftermarket air intake. As for the waterpump- save your money and get a lower temp termostat and have them turn the fans on sooner during the dyno tune. I don't think you will need the cutouts if you are getting the headers back to the Borla stingers as this will be loud enough and you won't see too much of a performance gain with the cutouts. Just my opinion...Good luck with your mods....Tony
P.S. I don't know what year you have so if it's 2000 or older, perhaps an LS6 intake. You will be in the 12s with far less than what you have listed. Perhaps your quest is for the 11s....
