It will save you time and money to get it the way you want it, as opposed to just throwing money at it because this or that is what everyone else is doing.
Never mod a car just to mod it, or to hit some magical HP number. Mod the car to make it perform the way you want it to perform.

That's a great way to go about it especially on a new model like the ZL1 where the aftermarket is just doing R&D. On my 2012 Z I waited quite a while before modding exactly for this reason. Previously I jumped in both feet to modding and regretted it.
