I have a 01 z28 owned it bout 6 mons now and I was ready to start adding on to it but I wanted to know some easy cheap ways out probably impossible since everything on this car is pretty expensive at times but what are some easy quick adds on bolts I can do to pick up some horsepower it's basically stock wit 17in chrome wheels on it I changed the spark plugs 2mons ago like a dumbass went with AcDelco rapid fire car ran like a beast for two weeks then started burning gas and I run premium in it I know NGK should go in them but in my city there hard to find and I literally work at the Chevy dealership and I've heard tornadoes are a waste of money but I got one for free but what are some basic installs I can use

If an automatic I would start with a stall, and a trans cooler, but that can be pricey. Other than that I would go with a lid, exhaust, or longtubes.

First step is help it breath...throw that tornado in the recycle bin with your beer cans (its a huge restriction).

If it's an automatic, go with a good stall/cooler first.

If it's an M6, get a lid and exhaust.
