What are the best performance parts for a 2001-2004 corvette z06?

[Jameson]

I am talking about exhaust systems, cams and so on. Please list what set ups you think are best and why. I would not only like to hear the good but also the bad of adding these performance parts. I am not doing any body mods the car is beautiful no need to mess with it. Also if you think it's a bad idea to add performance parts for what ever reason I would like to hear from you also. I am looking for the most bang for my buck....kinda like the corvette

leave it as it is performance parts are usually stock on high end speedsters such as corvette z06s leave it untouched because if you ever need to sell it for any reason stock parts are 90% of the time worth more the any mods that you put on a car.

the ultimate performance part is the motor itself.
replaced or fully rebuilt for high performance. heads, cam, pistons and crank, intake and exhuast, all high performance and you'll put out as much power as possible.

if you wanted to, you could also do a turbocharged, supercharged, or NOS buildup and get even more power while still being reliable.

but once you have a true high performance motor, you need a tranny capable of handling it. and a driveshaft, rear axle and gear ratio, and of course tires and suspension.


for cheap and quick bolt ons, exhuast, power programmer (to adjust the computer in order to get more power outo of what it currently has), pulley set, those are easy and quick ways to get a bit more power.

cam is a bit more work, but it is a great way to get more power
i'd talk with the folks at crane cam and they can match you up with the best cam for the application. however, if you plan on adding other things, do those and then talk to crane and get the cam.
best cam will be different if you change other parts.
