I say support the shops that support this board. I would recommend Kooks or Lg Motorsports. Please give us a call if we can help you with any questions that you might have.

Thanks,
Chad

Definitely get the LG headers. For a cam I like Cam motion stuff and they grind cams for Futral who I use.

Just to give you a specific instance, I put on Kooks 1.75" w/hi-flows as soon as they came out (1st to market). I was waiting on the LGs at first, but they were 7-8 months late. Already had CAI and catback (Magnaflow 15884 bolt-on), and picked up 19/17 with just the header addition. Put in a 224/228 .588/.588 cam 114lsa and picked up 35/30 (all rear wheel numbers). This is a small street friendly cam with no idle issues, decent lope and great drivability (mid-range).

Gives you a numbers idea. I put Dynatech on my Dad's C6, and they are very well constructed compared to others. They are all good choices.

Good luck!

NBM2001Z28--No intentions of bashing a shop, Sorry if I came accross that away. I just would of preferred to see, give Straight Line a call, then seeing a link.

For bolt ons, headers, catback and a Halltech intake is a good start. If you want more in depth installation then cam and heads. If you do not want to get into the motor then go with an ATI Procharger. But that might blow your budget.
