Performance cost?
I am curious to know how much on an average these upgrades will cost me. Just trying to get a good estimate on pricing and see if anyone has any other opinion on what I should do.
As of now I have:
Borla X-pipe
Magnaflow competition exhaust
AFE air intake
TM throttle body
Looking to add:
Headers
Cam
Tuned
Love to hear some opinions and advice on brand, cost, ect. Also trying to find a shop in my area. I live on the PA/NJ border. I have a 2017 Z06. Thank you

Headers :you could do your self really easy worse thing is pulling the fuse box to get to bolts on pass side. But cost at a shop labor around 500.00
Cam:::: You should do a DOD cam set up to help the power labor only around 2500.00 at a shop then the cost of cam & all of those parts.
TUNE:: a good tuner on all of these add on's will run you around 800.00 to 1,k but here please do your back ground checking and find a good tuner that really know about this new c7 car set up.. Diff than the c5 & c6 motor.. Robert

I installed myself a Vararam CAI , an EDGYVETTE ported manifold and recently added 1 7/8 headers, high flow cats and XPipe. for nowI am using a Diablo Lew Custom Tune .
The EDGYVETTE ported manifold, headers and a tune were well worth the money I spent as the car pulls like a freight train all the way up to the redline in each gear . Before the header addition the car was a solid high 11 second in the quarter mile on the factory runflats using launch control , not bad for a car that I can jump in and go anywhere without any worries . I cant wait to take it back this year with my mods to see how it performs with the headers and new tune
The cam , depends on what your goals are . I did not want to give up the drivibality I have now . I can drive the car anywhere at any time , race it on weekends and did not need to buy a converter or need drag radials to get it to hook . I have seen some of my buddies go to far and their car has become a garage queen because they cant get the power they make to hook up or the car became unreliable
I also went with the diablo tune because just in case I want to put it back to stock I can just load the OEM tune right back into it myself . Am I giving up some HP ... maybe but I would rather know that I can do all of this myself
