I own a 2002 Z28, so far the only things done to it are a K&N cold air intake and SLP Loudmouth exhaust, i'm looking to get some more HP out of it for around $500 give or take. any ideas?

yes but I was just looking for peoples personal opinions on things they have done, figured id get quite a few different answers that way

 

Are you manual or auto??

You could get a cam in for that price if you could fit it yourself, or get some long tube headers and de-cat and slp Y pipe too. Or get a rear gear/cog in the diff (wont change hp of engine) make car accelerate faster though.

My mods so far are, slp intake, k&n, custom cat back with no mufflers, and suspension mods in my sig. The suspension really helps get the power to the ground and car handles much better. I also have an LS6 intake sat in my house and some LT headers on order. (you already have ls6 intake on 2002 model)

 

Pulleys, OR Y pipe and pace setter headers. of course unless u have the technical know how and tools to install headers your self they could get pricey to have installed. also look at the sticky for free mods.
