$10k for mods what would you do to your ZL1?

What would you do with$10k for mods to a ZL1? I'm looking to do some major work and want ideas. Here are the stipulations:

1. Very hard to get E85 so keep that out.

2. Not interested in nitrous, so nix that too.

Thanks in advance.

What's your goal? Do you plan on tracking it often?
- suspension upgrades
- aftermarket big brake kit
- track wheels and tires

Are you doing the work so you have 10K in mods? Cause install is a pretty penny.

The plan was to bring it to a shop and have the work done. I drag the car a few times a year and the car already has: rotofab CAI, ported TB, and drag radials on the way.

This and I would install the Whipple and headers myself. I would have a reputable shop install the cam and heads (VR). Then have Vengeance Racing (VR) tune it. Just my $.02

If you track the car, you'll not want to spend much to any on power mods.

If you drag race/street race/just street drive the car then have at it.

I personally would be a street drive race with occasional Mexico trips so I would go with a full bolt on, cam, heads, ported blower, and meth injection. However, it may be worth it to go for a ProCharger F-series (I'd recommend over Whipple) setup for an easy 800-900 RWHP with options well over 1000 RWHP.
