Default What mod next?

Okay, American Racing 1-7/8" headers, x-pipe w/high flow cats, Corsa Sports, Vararam CAI, & Diablo tune are complete. Car feels great! What next? Heads and cam, or supercharger? I'm leaning towards the supercharger. What's best?

Here's my progression (05, MN6, Z51)

Corsa Sports & Dynatech Headers - 344rwhp
Heads & Cam - 443 rwhp
D1SC supercharger -586 rwhp

If you go with the SC, I highly recommend the heads & cam as an intermediate step.

Depends on what you want, but the obvious next "step" is to just do the cam. Put in a nice 224/228 and you should make good power with the stock heads.

Based on what you've already done, I agree with Glenn that a cam would be a logible next step.

What's best? You could go completely crazy with the LPE 403 or LPE 427 package.
