Next mod??? Less than $2k

06 C6 Z51 MN6
AR 1 3/4 Headers and catted mids
Corsa 3" exhaust
160* T-stat
Lingenfelter CAI
Custom Tune

What's my next move for under $2k? Do I go with a cam? Or maybe a fast intake and a 150 shot?

I would go with a cam, I am an old school kind of guy and I love the sound of a cam thumping away.

I thought about the gears, but alsao thought that 1st gear seems short as it is. Won't the 4.10's shorten that even more? I also havent had a chance to run the 1/4 yet. Have run only the 1/8. I want to run the 1/4 and see what gear I'm in at the end before deciding on swapping out the rear.

I've been leaning this way too. I figure it's good for 40 rwhp, and will sound pretty cool too!

Yes it will. 4.10s w/17" slicks (overall calc @ 4.30) I have to shift almost immediately at the track. But the added acceleration is the best bang for the buck with a NA car.
