Default What to do next

What do u guys think i should get next? below is a list of what i already got. im proably putting my stock maf back on. in the next few weeks im getting my tb ported, loudmouth exahust and a pro 5.0 shifter. im think after that asp underdrive crank pulley. what do u think about that? i was also thinking about the free ram air mod but i dont have the saw to cut the bottom out of the air box. i need some ideas. just some more info its a 98 z28 w/ about 88,000 miles on it. what are also some good things to do to clean out the inside of the motor and stuff like that.

So far your plans sound good. That is pretty much what I have on my car. With your car being a 98 I would do an LS6 intake then maybe some longtubes and after that a cam...

LS6 intake has been proven, the LSx hasn't been proven enough for me yet. But I'm sure with the right tuning you would benefit more out of it than the LS6

I think exhaust would benefit you quite a bit right now. It looks like you are running stock everything on exhaust. I would start with either a nice catback or a cutout, then get some headers. Then throw a nice cam (and new pushrods!) in there and tune it
