Simple mods? I have a 95 z28 and I want to make it faster. Im stuck on the turbo/supercharger. I want more of a american muscle sound than a wind up toy. Any ideas on what would make my stock car a little bad ***!
Well, if simple is what you want and your car is stock; get the forced induction idea out of your head now. Start with bolt on mods. Get the car breathing better with a CAI, headers, and catback. Where you live will dictate if you go long tube, mid tube, or short tube headers. Some 1.6rr are a nice little upgrade for the stock cam. Make sure the car is running well first though, do a full tune up. Then get a mail order tune. You will feel like your driving a whole different car.
After your done with that stuff then you can start looking into heads and cam setups, high stall torque conveter(if automatic), and gears for the rear (unless you have 2.73 right now, then I would find a used rear with 3.23+)

I agree, do things like headers,cai,1.6rr's, better valve springs, muffler, and one big thing that i have yet to do is a converter, if your an automatic!! From what everyone tells me that will wake these cars up ALOT. cant wait to get mine 
spinning hubcaps reduce rotational mass, and make sure your VTEC is working properly.
Just do full boltons first, then if you have money left over, you can start looking into power adders.
1. Long tube headers with off road Y pipe
2. Catback/dump/true duals/whatever floats your boat
3. LS1 lid
4. 3.42-3.73 gears and a stall if auto
5. Mail order tune
6. rear lower control arms, torque arm relocation mount, torque arm, drag radials or bias plys on a spare set of wheels
7. Learn how to drive
Do all that, and a little weight reduction, and you can be low 12s.

Start from the back and work your way up front. Caress her. Tease her. Tell her she's amazing and beautiful and don't let her catch you checking out that sweet *** of that Honda that just passed you when you blew your motor slapping a supercharger on her. Lol jk jus get a lid, intake, headers, tune. You'll have a blast. Until you want more
