If you JUST bought it the only thing you need to add is gas, a twisty back road and some good tunes. Dude, seriously. Just drive it. You have more car, bone stock, than most ever dream of...and many do. Mod it in a year or two when the sh*t eating grin on your face begins to fade.

^^^ I wish that i could do the first 2 mods you mentioned. Where i do live is not allowed to have an aftermarket exhaust system until you have some permission from the police traffic department and its a along story. So i'm stuck with the eom exhaust for now.
Ported TB, what's the difference? faster respond? is it worth it?
Window tint is a must and in my mods list for sure, i may go 30% on the sides and 60% on the back. good ratios?

Supposedly, it's a faster throttle response for the TB. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's only like 150$ so I figured it was cheap enough even if it was a placebo effect.
I think I went limo on the back and two smaller side windows. And then 10-15% on side windows. And 80% on the front. I wanted it dark enough where you couldn't see inside unless you really got close up and squinted. All depends what you want. I've never been pulled over for "illegal tint".

X-pipe is the best for better sound
halltech is cheap power
tinted windows are important
full exhaust makes rev match 100x better
mgw shifter is a massive improvement over stock
vitesse throttle controller is a fun mod for cheap
I have done all of those mods to my car and I am happy with them all. Next on my list will be pulleys/tune when the money tree blooms

Identify end game and dollar amount ...
Stock Blower:
CAI, Headers and Xpipe, Lower Pulley ... Maybe some meth. Other cooling mods for sure . And a tune...
Whipple if it ever releases ... Bolt up 100 more whp instantly. Tune of course.

LG Drop Spindles
The Z07 (FE7 suspension) rides higher that the Z06 (FE6). Even with the lowering bolts adjusted for the lowest ride height, the car looks way to high and doing that does not help the suspension perform at its best.
LG's drop spindles drop the car 1" and does 2 things. Great look and better performance.
This is #1 on my list for a Z07!
