Default What would you do with 2000

I own a 01 camaro z28 . The only thingsi have done to it is an air induction kit, flowmasters exauhst , and a hypertech chip with thermostat. I want to spend around 1500 to 2k for some more performance parts. Where will i get the most bang for my buck

You didnt specify so I am assuming you have a catback?
Go;
Headers/Duals
Headers/ORY
^ I think the duals sound awesome but im rockin Borla atm.

A4 or M6?
Either way gears wake things up a bit.
3:73's seem to be popular..

It depends on how far you are wanting to go as well..
You could do an intake/cam as well.

Definetly get a 3600 stall converter, then 3.73 gears as long as you don't drive highway too much. That alone will make a world of difference.

LTs or a TC with tires and gears. depends what youre looking for. TC with tires and gears will help your 1/4 considerably but LTs with a tune will improve your power and sound.

Depends on what kind of performance you want
Cornering prowess, shocks, springs, sway bars, adjPHB, and rotors and pads
Straight line, lt headers, stall, nitrous, tune

Pacesetter LT's & TSP 3" Y-Pipe or Stainless Steel LT's & ORY (don't remember the sponsor's name but check the GP/sponsor sales section)
Custom Cam
n2o (you can find a used kit with just about everything you'll need for fairly cheap)
Racetronix Fuel System and proper sized injectors for how ever big shot of n2o you'd plan on running...
