Default a Little extra cash

I've got between 325-400 extra dollars to use up before i change my mind. What do you guys think I should buy? It is a 98 Z with a bmr strut tower brace, lowering springs, SFC's, aftermarket Lower control arms, billstein shocks, whisper lid, EGR mod, aftermarket racing panhard rod, cross drilled and sloted rotors and a magnaflow muffler. I don't really want to get a whole catback i don't think. So that's the only thing i ask that you don't recommend. All other recommendations will be considered.

I agree with 98 formula. If you go that route and can wait two weeks, I'll have a LS6 intake and ported TB ripe for the picking. If you don't want to go that route, I'd probably recommend LT's since you seem to have the suspension down but not the go-fast goodies.

Intake and then LT Headers. After that then you'll need a tune to maximize all the parts.
