You used to be able to build a whole new motor that would likely double the hp of the stock motor a few decades ago, these days people are spending similar money on cam, heads, etc. to get 10-20% more power, and in the process losing warranty and making the car incapable of passing emissions.
IMO, you're better off buying a ZL1 if you want more power, and if you have a ZL1 and want more power you got to think about spending 6-figures on your car and what else you could get for that cash, like a 911 Turbo S that can do the 1/4 in low 10s stock, with warranty and reasonable resale value. Your cost of ownership is likely to be less than a modded ZL1 in the end. Modifying modern cars is going down a path of diminishing returns and mostly not worth it, imo.

I've definitely noticed most mods appear to be either looks/sound-based with small benefits or wildly expensive.
Why I'm keeping it somewhat simple, it is a daily driver after-all, just looking down the road for post-warranty and when I might have a second car.
Apologies, not purposefully derailing just trying to customize my car to a reasonable degree.
