Default Next mod???

Ok guys, a friend has a bolt-on 2002 millenium yellow z06. His looking to add more mods but is not sure what exactly to do. this is his current setup:

2002 millenim yellow m6 z06
Kooks 1 3/4 LT headers and X pipe (catless)
B&B bullets
ngk irridium spark plugs
SLP fan switch,
160 thermostat
hurricane intake
airduct with boot (some scoop under car)
all roil purple liquids
500 coats of wax.


He will eventually cam the car but wants to know what else can be done before. Any advice??

Tuning could gain him around 10 rwhp. I personally gained 12 rwhp from tuning after installing headers on my car. There is also having the throttle body ported and an underdrive pulley that could give up some more ponies. After those I would suggest a power adder (supercharger or nitrous) or maybe a cam.

This car needs a cam for the next mod. You will need to upgrade the valvetrain too. A cam, valvesprings and chromemoly rods should cost just under $1000.00. Dyno tuning should run approx. $500.00 on the first visit.

I agree!
You need a cam, and some long tube headers.
Just the cam would be a very large improvement
Cam and springs at least
You will love it!
