beginning mods...what areas to target??
 

im lookin to start moddin the car soon. its a 97 30th ann. z28 bone stock. i already have the cai/headers/exhaust in mind. that takes care of the airflow. any other areas of the car that are weak and easily upgraded?? ignition, fuel, handling, etc....????

Re: beginning mods...what areas to target??
 

if you're going to do those mods then i would suggest a lt4 knock module and a pcm tune from madz28 or pcmforless. as far as suspenison goes... subframe connectors, panhard rods, and lower control arms all help. is it a m6 or auto?... gears could be a consideration for either.

Update your sig to show if that 97 is an auto or manual.

I recommend:
cai, headers with lt4 km, catback, 160 stat with pcm tune.
For my A4 96 Z..I loved the firm shifts and throttle response was great.

Also recommended:
better tires, good shocks, sfc's, replace wornout bushings with poly bushings everywhere, better brake pads and stainless steel lines.

Consider:
gears, stall or clutch with rear-end prep

I'd also recommend SFC's, and either a stall if you have an auto, or a shifter if you have a manual.

As of right now, your stock fuel/ignition systems will be up to par to handle small bolt-ons, but if you ever go the forced induction route or build a heads/cam motor, then it is time to start looking into that stuff. Otherwise, if it hasn't already been addressed, do a good plug, wires, and fuel filter change.

I would definitely recommend a set of gears, stall, and some drag radials to get ya started. Also i agree with everyone else with the suspension parts. Either way you can't go wrong.
