what kind of mods do I need to......

I have a 99Z with 28000 unmolested miles. My mods are in my sig. What upgrades do I need to produce enough HP and TQ to reign supreme over the next generation FBody cars or at least match there projected base rear wheel HP projections? My car is a keeper. My budget is $2500

ideas?

crack heads! get some AFR205 heads. my first set of heads was a budjet ported heads from a board popular sponsor. i switched to AFR's and gained .4 in the 1/4mi from a head swap. i gained another 40hp from the heads on a mustang dyno.

heads or nitrous. cant go wrong with either...or both. either that or a 9 inch rear. if you want to hang at the strip, a better launch on those slicks will cut down your 60 ft times.
