Looks like you already got flowmaster exhaust and vette style cold air intake and bigger 85mm MAF, previous owner put some goodies on for ya, does it have headers yet? I went with Pacesetters, and BBK underdrive pulleys are cheap on Ebay. And you probably want to toss on new belts on a used ride anyway. Note; you will need smaller belts with underdrive pulley (i went with 76" and 37" belts with the BBK)

Personally I'd just stick with the vette style intake, they are not cheap and I bet it flows good. Get a K&N cleaning kit for it at any parts store. Check the MAF and see if it is descreened, I pulled my screen out, and idle loved it! You already got the big bellow, check to see if your stock throttle body has been ported, if not that is a cheap mod. I didn't do myself, I bought a Jantzer on ebay, yea some people don't like him but I got a powdercoated beauty from him for cheap and kept the old one in my spares. enjoy that Z!

oh yea, forgot to mention that you can dremel or cut a flap under the air filter, bend it down to create a cold air intake from under car where your ac coils are. It is kinda like the SLP design. I did that on a previous project. Take it all apart, do it clean and right and will look good and add the cold air from natural curve up the nose of car

Great way to lock up the motor when it rains

Congrats on the purchase. If theres ever a chance your in Ft Worth for any reason I've got a painted center cap for those wheels. You could have it for all I care. Maybe we could work out some kind of shipping arangement.
