Default Mod suggestions?

I am thinking of doing a little more to my LS2 durin the winter, but Im not sure what to do next. I would like to stay away from Super/turbo/N2O also. So I ask you, fellow LS1techer's, what is your suggestion? (resonable, no stroker engine or such) Open to cosmetic or performance

Vehicle- 2002 Z06 yellow

Current Mods
05 LS2 short block stock
Fast 92 (unported)
90mm throttle body
60lb injectors
TF 220 heads (YT roller rockers & double springs & pushrods)
240/244 .605/.596 112LSA
Stainless Works 1 7/8th Catless LT's
Stock Ti axle back
Vararam Intake with Power duct
Monster STG3 with Chromoly flywheel
Short shifter
Tick Master
18/19 Nurburgrings Gunmetal- Nitto Invo 275/435 & 325/30
C6 Z06 calipers & rotors, front & rear

Here is the last Dyno run from May (before the 1 7/8th LT's and during 100 degree temps)


And the car

Well to me it looks like you have done about as much as you can to the stock motor. I think you should look at a stroker rotating assembly. I know you said you didn't want a stroker, but your original post nixes any option out there to get more power out of the car.

I feel our rotating assemblies are fairly priced and would get you some added power while not going too crazy.

Get your 90/92 both ported, underdrive pulley, If your looking for pretty mods, you could paint/chrome/polish anything or everything in your engine bay...If your looking for added performance, you already know that to get more than you have you're looking at: S/c/Turbo/N2o

You already picked all the low hanging fruit... At this point you will be paying a premium for smaller HP gains comparatively. It's really your call, setup up with the big boys and really do something powerful (n20, stroker, etc) or learn to be content and complete. Many people have this problem, letting a project be complete... Good luck.
