Help me warm up my 94 Z-28
I have a stock 94 Z-28 convertable with auto transmission. It has a speed limiter at about 106 mph. I would like to make this car fun to drive and surprize the wife who drives a 96 corvette with a LT-4 engine with a 6 speed. Would appreciate input from someone who can give me a good shopping list of things to do.....to make this thing bark. Any information is appreciated, Dennis

Buy a new car! 
No, seriously, consider the basics first. Bolt on mods, then goto the bigger stuff. Get your basics situated, make sure it's all "****" to begin with. IE, meaning your brakes are good, your engine runs right, transmission is good, NO LEAKS ANYWHERE!
Go for:
Catback, (Hooker)
Headers, (MAC if you have to pass smog, Jet Hot's if you don't need to)
Intake (K&N FIPK)
LT4KM (Knock Module)
Also consider your tires, now those bolt on's will not get you the performance of an LT4 Vette, however, its a start.
After you get that done, consider a heads and cam combination. An XE grind would be well suited, the 224/230 is conservative for me, good idle, but more power can be had with a large cam.
Just some thoughts to steer you in the right direction, I've been there and done that.

I agree on Lloyd. I got the LE2 package from him. Installed it on my 355ci LT1 Impala SS (heads only for now) and with a CC503 cam I picked up .8 tenths of a second and 7 MPH in the 1/4. And the heads I took off were ported Agistino LT1 iron heads that had higher flow numbers and bigger valves than the LE2's. Lloyd rocks.
