When I modded my 2002 Z06 that had the LS6 motor I didn't notice any really power increase until I cammed it, which is why I won't waste my time and money on simple bolt ons anymore. If I decide to mod again I will go straight to forced induction this time.

Same here.
The only exception to that rule now seems to be the newer turbo cars like the 335 and S4 where a tune will get you 100+HP and shave a second off your 0-60.
