Default Just bought a 99 Z28, What mods?

I read the mod order but was wondering what you guys though I should pick up next if my final goal would be a s/c 500 whp car? I am not looking to buy parts twice so what should I get first that will work down the road? So far I have a lid and magnaflow cat back.

Thanks.

You've got alot of reading to do. Full boltons, blower cam, blower, and full dynotune will probably get you to 500rwhp.

I also forgot to post that this has an A4 in it and my plan is to do a ls1 swap into a 67 camaro when both the 67 has been finished (body wise) and when I reach my hp. goal in this car.

I am sure l/t headers should be next. I was not sure about the cam or heads. Would the same cam that is needed for the f/i work on the n/a? Or does it require a different lift/comp.ratio? Looking to put as many parts on now that will help my hp go up, dont want to install something that will work great with the blower but make my car run like crap before I get the funds to buy one.

Get a Pro Charger, bigger fuel injectors, and a tune. Then you will be at 500 hp. About $6000.
