what modification next?

Ok have a question to ask and I know everyone will have different ideas and thats what I want. I have 2010 camaro ss and my mods are fast 102, throttle body 102, cam, cai, tune, short shifter, twin disk clutch headers, heads and exhaust with high flow cats. Now its time.to make a choice what shqould I do first a supercharger or create engine 427 stroker kit or a engine rebuild 427 strokerkit. My engine has aprox 39,000 miles on it. What are your thoughts on the next thing I should do?

THANKS

SUSPENSION!!! No use having all that power if you can't effectively put it to the ground!!!

I was just about to say suspension. I believe these cars need to get cammed to get out from under their own weight, then suspension and they will be beasts.

It's hard to pass up some solid suspension mods. Make sure you get some bushing kits as they are responsible for a ton of suspension flex. Getting the complete rear end bushing kit will help eliminate some wheel hop which is huge for getting down the track. The front end bushing kit will help a bunch on the curves.
But, if it's more power you're looking for that's always fun too. If you're up in the air between a blower and a stroker motor you should seriously think about your end goals. A 427 is serious fun but a N/A engine will always run into limits. If in the end you will want more power then that N/A 427 can provide you might have wasted a bunch of money. Now you can build that 427 to handle boost but until the blower is on it it'll feel like a waste. PM sent.

Your right if I do the 427 its not going get alot of hp at that time then supercharger so it might feel like a waste at the time. but I will hopefully do supercharger next year. Or do I slap supercharger on have more hp then do the engine.....

Really depends on what your trying to achieve in a short period of time. Installing the blower would make a dramatic difference and offer instant satisfaction. With the larger motor it would no doubt make a difference but probably not offer near the fun of a blower on top of your existing motor.

suspension & 3.91 gears

you've got a lot of great mods, and some that i still want to complete...head work and ported intake manifold. you've already put a lot of money into the engine but i think you've neglected a few other areas, unless you failed to mention them, that will put a smile back on your face. as others have said, suspension is a must...drop it a few inches either through springs or coil overs, subframe bushings, sway bars, differential bushings, and then add some gears to it...preferably at the same time.

good luck

Since no one has asked, what do you want these mods for? What you want it to do will dictate what you should do next.
