Default Next mod after intake & exhaust, headers? whats recomminded?

I am just wondering what my next mods should probably be with my Z(specs in sig). I was thinking headers since its usually considered the next step when it comes to bolt on mods, but I have been hearing that the Z only receives minimal gains for a pricey installation.

plenum spacer, test pipes, K&N drop in filter since you have an 06', exhaust, and a reflash/tune. maybe if you get 3 grand together you can do JWT Cams, headers, Utec all at once for a grand total of 30 horsepower...lol

After collecting all those mods and more the best one you should consider over all those would be gears or tune. Anyone one of those mods or all of them combined wont quite tickle your pickle

i would do the spacer and test pipes. when my car was na I noticed a differance with those two, then a tune would def give you the add. bump up from there. Buy good test pipes though, cheap ones will make an undesirable rasp and ruin your exhaust note.
