Default modification help...

I own a 04 GT and I have some basics on it already which suprised the hell out of me as far as power goes.... I have a K&N gen 2 air induction kit, bbk shorty headers and a magnaflow cat-bak system..It's not much but I did smoke an 04 vette (which he probably diddn't know how to drive but nontheless I beat an 04 vette)... anyways... what should I do next? I was thinking pulleys and taking the A/C out then a MAF and then throttle body with a spacer... but my main question is if you think these mods will definitely help, after all this is on what size cams and heads should I go with... I have never gotten into cams or heads and need to know what size/kind to go with after all this is on... oh yea and after this what size fuel injectors and any other mod ideas would be appretiated

Gears, off road mid pipe, pulleys and a tuner is a good start. You can always mess around with nitrous too.

4.10 GEARS ARE A MUST. With that said and done, a midpipe, UDP's, some DR's, t/b and plenum, and a tuner.

driving past a parked vette doesnt count as a win but i agree with doing the gears first, and get a tuner too (will correct the speedo and give you a little more power) why take the ac out? is this a daily driver, if so thats a horrible idea. its not worth the weight loss to fry during summer.

The only thing taking out the AC will do is make you roast during the summertime.
