Best First Mod
+1 for the stall. I would not waste money on gears for the weak a$$ 10 bolt learned that lesson the hard way several times lol.. Just leave the stock gears in there until u can afford a 12 bolt it will be stronger with the stock gears in there. Not saying it WILL break cuz there are several very fast cars with 10 bolts but more than likely they had stock gears in them and of course they were autos. Hell i broke a 3.73 gear from a roll in my old 10 bolt.. but with a stall in there its not gonna matter cuz you are gonne be happy and your are gonna be smoking the hides 
make sure u get a trans cooler also
make sure u get a trans cooler also Uhhh why is everyone saying for him to get an LS6 intake for a first mod? Like 3-4 people said that I think... Since when does an '02 Z28 not come with an LS6 mani from factory?

Depending on how much you'd like to spend at first, and what you plan to do in the future.
I went with a Lid, and and cut-out. I skipped the cat back since will be doing long tubes and true duals pretty soon. But if you you don't plan on doing a true dual set up, a good cat-back is the way to start off.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I do have one more question that might sound stupid. Is there a post on here that explains what I should be looking for in a TC(and how one actually works 
). Like I said before I dont know much about AT. And if any of you would like to give me suggestions on what I should look for that would be great. Thanks for all the imput.

i installed 3.73s ,slp lid ,flowmaster catback,k&n,crane wires,hypertech power programmer 3 this done before gear swap major bottom end tourqe increase all these mods set me back about 1200 bucks doing all work myself my rear had to be completely rebuilt though. car feels like a rocket now major traction problems on street tires do the gear first

That will show you how they work. If you get one the main issue is the stall speed. I would look for one around the 3600 RPM area.

start off simple, a lid (jsut picka fucknig lid theyre all the same) cat-back, headers. after that theres egars and a stall, a stall will always hands down give you the biggest gain for a stock car pretty much. the thing is stalls should be matched up with your set-up so mods done before a stall is in a way better.
