where to start?! Well im trying to decide on where to start with modds, i have a BL98 Z28. So far all i have done is steel braided brake lines, K&N filter. And a Steel drive shaft from previous owner. Any suggestions on what modds are good and some what inexpensive to begin with. Im buying new brakes all around and buying NGK plugs and wires this week

Intake and exhaust. Best initial mods for power and $$$ to start with.
I got a clear MTI lid to replace my blackwing (for looks not performance) and my car already had the SLP exhaust. May I reccomend a MTI lid and a borla exhaust? If you have the money go true duals.
JUST MY 2 PENNIES!

Tell us what you have to spend and that will help.
I am sure 99.9% who have actually modded their cars will tell you stall and headers will make the the biggest SOTP diff for first mods. Don't forget a lid either as a first mod.
IM's are overated in my book and are really only necesarry after full exhaust and to support a cam. LS6 IM is only about about 7-10 and FAST (in sig) maybe 15 despite all the hype.
If you are M6 gears are great like BL 744 says and are at the top of the list (4.10 or 4.11). If A4 I would stall first but 3.73's are still a kick in the pants

When I started modding I focused on one thing and that was getting more air in with lid, SSRA, P&P TB, etc. Then went with getting it out with headers, ory, and a cutout. Hope this helps and good luck

what you really should do is sit down with a paper and pencil, and honestly figure out what you want your car to do at the end of all the modding. if your going to be drag racing alot then decide if your going to go NA or FI. usually only a few parts will work with both so if you decide to later on switch over your going to end up rebuying parts. if your going to go with AutoX then it really wouldnt make sence to buy a 4000 stall.... see where i'm getting at? make a gameplan of what you want from the car and go from there. dont go blindly modding....you'll end up spending twice the money.
