Default More mods......what to buy next!!!

Ok so I just bought a 98 z28 Camaro about 3 months ago and it was all stock when I bought it. But since then I have added a K&N air filter, a SLP lid and bellow. So I have about $500 bucks that I want to spend on it. I was wondering what I should get next? Any suggestions???

Ok so here is what I purchased; Stainless steel long tube race headers and a catless y pipe. I deleted the egr valve and I do think it runs a little better BUT it does need tuned, because now its running a little on the rich side. I believe my next purchase will be gears or maybe a intake. not sure yet. I scheduled an appointment for the tune and that will happen in 2 weeks.

Are you still running the stock catback?

What type of "tune" did you schedule? If you've scheduled a dyno tune, you should probably hold off on that until you get a little further down the road with mods (intake, full exhaust, etc.).
