Don't know what to do next!? Alright. I've got a 99 z28 with a couple of mods including: header back 3 in exhaust, ls6 intake manifold, slp intake, short throw shifter, tune, msd wires, panhard bars, adjustable coilovers, and upgraded brakes. I've got $3,500 to spend and I am looking for the performance mods for power. Any insight would be appreciated!

But all the heads/cam setups I look at pretty much exceed 3500
And what kind of power gains would I be looking at? What kind of injectors? Currently I stay dead even with my friends 02 procharged gt

Shop around, hit the classifieds, you can get the parts seperate for under 3500. as a package, and new, you will go over.
The stock injectors wont hold much more than you have now. (They get pretty high in duty cycle.)
Search on here, see what the dyno number are for heads/cam cars.

And also guys. I meant to say that stroker kits I was looking at were around 3 grand. Which would be a better idea? Like a 383 or 402 stroker or just like heads/cam and rear end gears?

Im no expert, but that MS4 is kinda big for street use. Do you DD the car, or is it a track car?
What are you building it for?
I have been weighing my options with the stick, and Im going to stay lower with a 224 or 228 sized cam. I still like driving mine on the street and in the mountains.
Patriot heads, 1250
cam, pushrods, head bolts, gaskets, etc... $600
so cam n heads for 2k, save the rest for rear end.

Check out Vengeance Racing's TFS As-Cast Kit. Comes with virtually everything you need to do a H/C swap, and falls well within your budget. That's the route I took two years ago.

They have a great write up on LS1howto.com and there are a few threads I've read from people that did it themselves and they give pointers and tips about the install.
$1,625 Texas Speed Head/Cam Package (PRC 5.3 Heads w/ 228R, pushrods, springs, retainers ect...)
