Next step??

I was hoping you guys could lead me in the right direction. I have a 95 Z28 with T56. So far i have a K&N filter charger, flowmaster catback, high flow cat. I was wondering what my next upgrade should be, things I can bolt on. Not really looking for the super charger or NOS just yet. Thanks

Shocks and springs.

I might change my mind if you tell me what your goals are for the car. However, unless you tell me that preventing the car from rattling itself to pieces is low on your list of priorities, I'll probably stick with my original advice.

Yeah springs and shocks are on my list. I'm more looking along the lines of Maybe some bolt on horsepower mods.

Headers and a Y-pipe.

Cold Air Intake (not just the filter)
Headers
Lower Control Arms
EWP

Thats what I would do, not to bad of an install process for all of them.

I wouldn't do an electric water pump (EWP) unless it was a drag-only car, not to be driven long distances or run for long periods of time.

I certainly wouldn't do it before underdrive pulleys.

Long Tube headers and Y pipe if you state's inspection policies will allow it.

I can't argue with either of these suggestions.

I have a Hurst short shifter coming from Jegs and a local clutch shop is building me a clutch.
Looks like a y pipe and headers are my next project.

But what is CAGS bypass???

I basically just drive my Z about twice a week in the warmer months. I really don't take it to the track but a couple times.
