help with a TPI daily driver setup
well im new to the fbody scene,i just bought a bone stock L98,700r4 89 iroc to replace my z26 i was driving,i drive my car on average 30 or 40 miles a day,plus a 500-700 mile trip to my parents about once a month,i like the power my iroc has,but i could always use more,ive ben searching and reading past threads in this forum for the past 2 weeks,trying to find every last setup i can,what ive taken from everything so far is the stock runners are junk,tpi cars are more for torque than upper end,and a full exhaust is the first main mod to do,this is what ive come up with the build up in my iroc,all comments,help,critism would be needed,like ive said ive been searching and reading every past post and thread i could come up with
hooker 2055 headers with the ypipe
random tech hi flow cat
slp loud mouth catback,if its too loud ill have a bullet muffler adapted into the setup
slp dual cold air intake
air foil
ported stock runners
afpr
msd igniton
3.42 posi rear
17 inch rims and tires
thats about it for now,down the road im wanting to go with the 3 big power adders,heads intake and a cam,im looking for good driveability and nice power,i dont see the car making it to the track at all
afr 195 heads,what cc would i be wanting to look into
superram intake
which aftermarker runners would be good?
lpe 219 cam
2600 converter
shift kit and corvette servo
and some major prom tuning
like i said this would be a daily driver,i might buy a beater to drive while my iroc is getting worked on but i plan on driving my iroc,thats why i bought it,anything remarks,suggestions,help,critisism would be much appreciated

seems like you really know what you want to do with your car, but the question is how much money do you have to work with and what is your priority? If you are not going to be taking it to the track and just want a street car why not just make it easy and get a supercharger? Just my

From what you are telling us, I don't think you should jump into a supercharger just yet. There is alot more involved than just coughing up $3000, dropping it in, and driving away.
Take a step back, and think about what you want exactly. If you want just a little more power, you don't need all that. It would be a waste of money for you. If you have a specific hp figure, or 1/4 mile time in your head, then its a different story.
If I were you, I would pick up a set of headers, catback, and a mild cam somewhere around 212 @ .050. I would also look into prom tuning. I think you would be pretty satisfied if you just want a little more hp out of it.
The MSD, air foil, porting stock runners, and the like will do next to nothing for you on a stock engine.
If I had a chance to go back to when I bought my car, I think the first thing I would do is subframe connectors.
