2008 Z06 Upgrade Help Needed

[MilesJ]

I just purchased a 2008 Z06, and am considering the following modifications:

Kooks Custom Headers/Crossover
Borla Aggressive Exhaust
PFADT Racing Suspension with "street" sway bars
Vararam air system (VR-SC1R)
Breathless Performance Throttle Body

Are these the "best" items for performance upgrades to the Z06, and what is the best option for updating the programming for the best performance?

I've looked at the Tbyrne Predator, or putting together an update sheet on the car to have a custom program written. Don't have a clue as to the best way to go.

Thanks,
Miles

What he said!

Then add a 160 thermostat and a HP tuners based tune from Carlos at Vette-Air and be prepared to hang on tight. These exact mods added 50 RWHP to my car and really woke it up.

525 rear wheel horsepower with JUST those mods? I find that extremely hard to believe. What type dyno, what correction factor?

A few questions....what's the ball park figure on these mods? How much does it cost to go to 525rwhp/485+rwtrq? How much time in labor? THANKS!

Sooner or later, I'll do a CAI and a dyno tune. Should get me close to 490 or so. I'm at 468 now.
