Well, i have a 1996 Z/28 with 150k on it and the mods so far are as follows....

Engine -- K&N FIPK, Pacesetter headers, flowmaster exhaust, mild/baby cam (biggest u get from comp cams with a stock stall), 1.5 RR Arms, MadTuner PCM

Trans -- Fresh Rebuild 500 miles ago, B&M Shift Kit, 2400 Stall

Rear -- All new bearings & seals, Richmond 3.73's, M/T ET Street Tires

The thing im asking is are there anymore "simple mods" i can do (**BESIDES SWAPPING/PORTING HEADS**)? More bolt ons or mods no more difficult than as putting in new Rocker Arms, or swapping gears? I am a mechanic by trade and am fairly experienced enough to do most mods but i was wondering if anyone could suggest anymore mods that are fairly easy to get by with. I like my power level now, but more is always fun. I will eventually do the 383 but i dont have the time right now.
Anyways, if you have any ideas or opinions please voice them, thanks.

1.6 Roller Rockers
52mmTB
TB coolant bypass
75 shot of nitrous
LCAs
PHR
SFC
weight reduction

That is what I would do.

 

forgive me but i need clarification on what those mean, please write them out?

 

lower control arms
panhard bar
sub frame connectors

i would do the rockers, replace the exhaust with something that actually performs and then do some suspension

 

LCAs-lower control arms
PHR-panhard rod
SFC-subframe connectors

 

thanks. i've heard the flowmaster doesnt do much and that for performance Magnaflow is the way to go so i may look into that. Suspension mods are things i havnt really thought about yet...thanks guys. Please keep em coming.

 

air foil ($25) - 20 minutes
TB bypass (as mentioned above) $0 - 20 minutes

 

The Magnaflow is a better flowing catback and should yield a small gain versus the Flowmaster. You could also do a 30 dollar exhaust cutout and probably see the same gain for less cost.

 

a looser 9.5" torque converter.

What valvesprings do you have?

 

Could always go for a elec. water pump.. 4-5 hp give or take.You already have other small addion boltons.. Every little bit helps in my eyes. I did it and wasn't that bad.. THeres plenty of threads on the install. And yeah I'd deffantly ditch the flowmaster before any thing else... Should be easy to sell..lol

 

What do these mods consist of and what do they do? I've heard of them, but never had them explained properly.

 

The airfoil is a piece that goes into the throttle body and smooths out the incoming air charge. The throttle body has coolant lines that connect to it to help prevent the blades from icing in extreme cold conditions. With hot coolant running underneath the throttle body, it warms up the incoming air charge. The throttle body bypass disconnects those coolant lines and connects them together. This has been shown to provide a small power increase.
