What should I do next performance wise? I drive a 2002 camaro z28. Mods: slp cold air package, slp loudmouth exaust, diablo sport programmer predator. What mod and or mods would be next for me? I was thinking headers, intake manifold, cam, but honestly I have no idea which one is best to do first. My car has 19500 miles on it so do t forget to take that into consideration.

What do you want out of your car? Are your plans to keep it N/A or is boost soon to come? If its an auto, a good cam and high stall tq converter would be best. Im going to turbo mine, so Im going with a blower cam from thunder racing and a Yank stall. Afterwards, tubor kit plus supporting mods. Do a cam, headers, etc.
I would really think about how far you want to go first, like Sweet said, Na or boost... go from there...

Have a plan before you start throwing parts in it . Figure out what YOU want out of the car .Then try to match everything together . If youre an auto ,consider a good stall converter . If youre a M6 ,maybe some 410's or a better rear dif .A set of LT headers and y pipe would also help. You already have a LS6 intake ( stock on 2002 ) . Have fun !

I went with a Yank SS4000 stall because I am planning on staying n/a (for now 
) and Ill be doing a mild cam (@228 -232) soon. But now I think with some headers , a little weight reduction and some cooler air ,I could reach my goal of an 11.xx timeslip ,,without the cam .

I wouldn't throw too much power at it until you change out the transmission and rear end. I know you get some freak cars out there that have a decent amount of power on stock rear and trans but, I wouldn't chance it.

X2 and if you throw a stall in a tranny with that many miles it will not live long!

Fasteddie z, you say the 2002 camaro z28 auto already has a ls6 intake. Is that true? Would that make it pointless to go out and buy an ls6 intake then? Do u have any proffthat it alreAdy has an ls6 intake? I don't mean to question your knowledge but i have my reasons. I had my car dyno tuned and the results were 360.1 rwhp, 379.5 torque. My friend say that with my mods (slp loudmoutg exaust, slp cold air package, diablosport predator programmer) the numbers were probabably screwed with to make me satisfied. But with an ls6 intake those numbers might not be way off, also with only 18000 miles at the time of tune. What are your thoughts?

I wouldnt buy another LS6 intake ,unless somebody swapped yours .
Your at 360 rwhp ?? Not with those mods . Your probably considerably lower . They might be inflated dynojet #'s . Something doesnt sound right .

Do NOT get an intake because since you have a 2002, you already have a ls6 intake on it. I would do heads and cam or just a cam if you want a street car. If you want it to me a track car I would do a cam with a stall and drag radials.
