Default What should be my next mod?? HELP!

I currently have a C5 with the following mods: Stainless Steel Works headers, Blackwing Air intake, Corsa x pipe and exhaust, Hurst shifter, BFG G-Force KD's (295's,and 4.10 gears. Car is a M6.

So what should I do next? It's only a street car, so I don't take it to the strip at all. It's also my daily driver, so keep that in mind. I'd like to stay stock looking/sounding, and go with some kind of stealthy mod (roller rockers) or something, as I do street race. However, I can't really think of any good bang for the buck mods to do. Help me out if you can think of anything...! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Drop in a good clutch, either a SPEC or McLeod and slap some Nittos on back and heat them up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

i would have to agree with the census and start with the tb. computer goodies wiht a revised valvetrain like the roller rockers with a raised rev limit would be fun <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> or if you feel like testing the tranny you could always use the giggle gas <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> but you should put every bolt on you can on the engine first

I think best bang for your buck would be nitrous then cam. I also think with the mods you have you could get a lot more with a good clutch
