Default What mod should I do next.

I have all boltons including a mail order tune from Frost. I am wanting to do a cam, by the way all this is on a 98' Z28, but like I was saying I wanted to do a cam but not sure if that is the right move. Should I buy suspension, or what mod should I do? What is ya'lls opinions let me know?

What are your goals? Budget?

Lots of people have gone plenty fast in the stock suspension.

It really depends on your goals for the car. If you're looking to drag race the car, then obviously 6spd + factory 10 bolt = kaboom on agressive launches.

either way, i would recommend doing suspension/rear end and getting the most out of your current combination, rather than just adding more power and not being able to hook up, or possibly breaking the rear end.

to break into the 11's with a 6speed is gonna take some work.I suggest a cam.if you try with boltons you are gonna have to hook hard something like a 1.55' but your rearend is gonna go bye bye.
lets put it this way with a cam.you will have some nice trap speed a ten bolt can survive many 1.8' and with a trap of around 117 you should see 11's.
11.9's@117 1.85' seems about right?
