More Power
I need your opinion on what mod I should do next. I have a 2005 Z51 6 speed current mods are B&B Bullets and VaraRam. I was thinking headers or a Dyno tune but not sure of my other options. Keep in mind I have a baby boy to be born any day now so my budget is limited. Thanks for your help

If you could spend the money I'd go for headers X-pipe and a tune.
If your just looking for something to do, The best mod that I've done so far has been the Callaway short shifter. Cheap and it makes a big difference.

If you are going to do the work, make the trip to Cartek, call Dave Busch and tell him "Mr. X" sent you.............
Congrats on the bambino.

Almost a Catch 22 situation. Every mod almost requires additional mods to function correctly. I did mufflers, then headers, then CAI, then a tune to get rid of the CEL, then a ported stock intake. 384RWHP, 382RWTQ, probably a little more if I re-tuned but the cost and downtime are holding me back.

Mike -
How have you been, how are my old Bullets treating you?
My opinion is leave it as is, but if you want to do something, do a 160 stat and a tune.
This will run you about $500.
YOu have to check out my Borlas.
Good luck to you, your wife, and soon to arrive son.
