Default Where to start????

I have a 2007 ZO6 and was wondering where to start as far as mods go.
Do I get an intake or exauast first? Computure up grade?
I have installed the MGM short shifter and have plans to do the skip shift and thought while I'm under the car I should do the exaust...but which brand?

Please any info would help.

Where are you located?

What do you mean "do the exhaust"

What do you mean "computer upgrade"? Are you referring to a tune (alter the software in the engine control module (computer))

If I were in a Z06, I would keep it like it is, unless I wanted really big power. Then I would go into the motor with a new cam and stuff or blower/turbo. The most I would do would be a CAI and Tune.

If you are in a no emissions inspection state, you could add headers.
