Don't know what to do next.

I have a '01 z28 that i am trying to fix up, but dont know what to do next. I have already put on the MAF sensor, cold air, and power programmer. Also have a set of 18" chrome C6 wheels. I have a few ideas but dont know what order to go in. Money is somewhat of a problem but time isnt. I thought about a new gear, hot cam, intake, headers, and rocker arms.

Port your throttle body. Cheapest SOTP mod I've done. And it was free, that was the best part.

im a huge fan of some rear end gears. its like a night and day difference. if your auto, do like a 3.73 or so....6spd- 4.10, 4.30 etc... huge difference, maybe not on the dyno but on the timeslip. and thats where it counts

i personally think 3.73's would be the best. 3.90's i hear are extremely loud gears and plus 3.90 being so close to 4.10 why not just go with 4.10.

i didnt get them from a sponsor so i really cant say. but i regret it anyway. if you want gears, go to www.lsxperformanceparts.net or pm me for the #. they're the only place i'll deal with from now on.
