Headers or smaller mods?
I got a bonus at work, and now I don't know what to do!
I could get headers only, or a bunch of smaller items (z51 bars, mgw shifter, paint brake calipers, carbon fiber interior, cold air intake)
Convince me

I'd take all of the smaller stuff over headers. The shifter, sway bars and CAI are good mechanical upgrades that you'll really enjoy everyday and the cf interior looks killer.

Intake
Ported throttle body
Ported OEM intake manifold
Ported/coated OEM exhaust manifolds
Catless X-pipe
Zip shifter bushings
Those are my reasonably priced mod recommendations

I think I too would go with the smaller mods. The car runs great the way it is.

Dovervold here is a link to the original build thread. This C7 drives EXTREMELY well and makes excellent power over stock. I am sure Anthony ( owner) will chime in with his thoughts as well.
