Default Possible future mods

I am trying to decide if I should leave my car the way it is and save up for an LS3 Corvette or keep going. Car has ported heads / mild cam (see sig) Overall my car is fast enough but I have money to spend.

The mods that are left that I am considering are as follows.

Fast 92 intake - $849.99
Vengeance racing porting service- $225
NW throttle body- $399.00
Throttle Body Harness Adapter- $59.99
Billett rail kit- $399.00
Total- $1,933.97 for 15-20rwhp

Slp powerbond underdrive pulley I see alot of mixed reviews on pulleys.
$281.96 for 3-7hp

Moroso Electric Water Pump Also alot of mixed reviews.
$439.99 for 0-5hp

Why stop at a FAST 92 instead of doing a 102?

I need new/skinny injectors with the 102 right? I just replaced them so thats not happening. I also heard the 102's are tougher to tune.

Yeah you gotta get the diff injectors for the 102. For the money If you were going to change anything on your car and make the biggest difference you could put a larger cam in....just a thought lol but I still like the vette idea.

meh....vettes are everywhere. You don't see many clean WS6's on the streets anymore. For the money your about to drop I'd put it toward a D1 or turbo setup.

No no no.... 102 Fast intakes take the same injectors. I have a 102/102 setup and put the stock sized injectors in it.

vettes are everywhere tho. F bodies are raw sports cars and harder and harder to come by in great shape. I would take the money and make the Fbody as badass as I could. Twin Turbo or procharger, big motor , full suspension, painted/wrapped, new interior, electronics sky is the limit. A vette done like that to me is just not as impressive because a vette says the owners rich. When an F body is done like that you know his wife is pissed and skinny.

So a procharger with meth injection? What would that cost around $10 grand?
