Just Got My First Vette!! Need Some Help!!
Cam 385
ebay headers 300
ud pulley 130
used zo6 ti's 350-400
tune 400
off road x used 200 ish
Zip tie mod
That is 1730 ish depending on what exactly you go with.... If you are mechanically inclined do the cam yourself if not expect to pay 800 ish, that is the only thing with any level of difficluty, This combination should have you in the low 400's

While all these parts aren't neccessary I would think at least springs are. A cam swap on a vette is a fairly involved job so why not do it right the first time.

Do the cheaper stuff first: Intake & catback (don't even need to do catback, really)
If you just want to have fun here and there.. consider an N02 setup.
Then save your money for FI (supercharger/turbo).
You could spend thousands on cam/heads/LT headers/etc when you could just spend the money on FI and go well above what you're hoping for
There are a lot of FI kits out there for stock LS1s, if you go H/C, LT headers, etc AND then decide you want more power you're looking at upgrading your clutch, tranny, going with a forged motor, etc.
If you went the turbo route - you could just upgrade the drivetrain / engine later for more boost and you'd have instant HP gains instead of upgrading the motor AND adding FI then.
This is the route i'm gonna take

Well this is what I am going to do.
1. Vararam cold air intake.
2. Ti cat back.
3. Tune.
I have read that a bigger Tb wont really do anything for me right now. Unless I go crazy on a build.
And I was wondering if changeing to a Z06 MAF would help me at all. Iknow they changed the screens or something for better flow, but I am not sure if the gains would be worth the cost.

As for the MAF...dont waste your time. I descreened mine, but that was more for nitrous use.
