To keep up with a Z06 your gonna need about 460-70 rwhp (right?). The easiest way would be to supercharge or turbo. I'm a supercharger man so thats what I would do. If you want to turbo STS makes a good turbo system. There is another option: Head & cam. That would then leave room for a supercharger if you needed more power lol. Vettes have about 350ish rwhp stock so your gonna need to net atleast 100hp. I'm sure other people will chime in but you can see from my sig. what I have and that is about 400rwhp so I think if I added a cam and worked the heads I'd be right there.

Also: the catback doesn't do much of anything for perf. just sound.

Fill in your profile so we know what you are starting with. You might get by with cam only plus headers for LS3, but the LS2, your gonna probably going to need H/C, headers, ported intake..Add to this tires to get the power to the ground, which can get involved in it self..
