well what do you have done to the car now? if you have just bolt ons, Id go procharger, if you have heads/cam I'd go with something that makes your car pretty

Personally I'm more about looks than speed. Probably the reason I'm content w/ my V6. However make sure not to confuse that with the 'lets put as much crap on my car as possible' mentality. I like my looks very subtle. The kinda thing that only F-Body owners might notice.
I'm not too huge on speed mostly because I don't race. My 200hp is fast enough for me I guess. I've long since passed my days of light to light racing and trying to prove that I'm cooler than the guy in the dumdumdumdumdum. I have more fun working on making my buddies SS faster. I get to do the fun work without busting my wallet. (can't wait til he reads this). haha.

I like to make the car faster the only looks I spent money on was the wheels and they are just GM wheels I cant justify the thousands for wheels... Im just working to get my full bolt ons done and thatll have to do until after college. After that Ill probably turn toward some minor appearance stuff like tint, halos/corner lights, berger mod, and a bowtie grill.

I've added a set of Z06ers that I got for dirt cheap. Those tires are worn out now, so she'll be back on the stockers indefinitely. Doesn't bother me, because I'm going to make it quicker.

Me PERSONALLY I'd do both... but that's just me... if you at least have a set of Zr1's and lowered then I'd go with a procharger... it just depends on what rims you have done now and what's done to the car... a procharger isn't going to be just drop-in... you need the supporting mods as well along with a tune... so just make sure you consider that as well... BUT!!!! the sleeper look is good too... I guess I'm not offering too much help am I??

i personally would try to split it up and get all the bolt ons i could since i dont have any suspension work yet or H/C package yet so i would probably do that and try to get a few of the small appearance stuff like tint and watnot...the "cheaper" things compared to the charger...now if ur already full bolt ons and everything then i say charger and a tune for it....remember, TAX RETURN SEASON IS HERE!!!

I like both. Although I've done more performance than looks, but I think the car is pretty sharp already for a 10yr old car with the original paint. My sig shows it with the Z06's, but I have recently went back to the ZR1's. I have a few things for looks, but my next move as far as looks will be the interior now that my goals for 2008 have been accomplished. 2009 goals are fresh paint and interior work.

I would go with the Procharger! I mean having a car look sweet is cool but you put a procharger on that thing and charge people $10 a ride and a few weeks later you can buy you the wheels you want.....LOL
