A lid does let the motor breathe much easier! Agree on the 12 bolt, especially if you plan on doing some hard lauches with stickies. The stock 10 bolt sucks on the F-bodies. Lucky headers are so cheap for F-bodies, I paid $900 for mine.

The next mod I would do, if I were you, is the headers and gutted cats, though the gutted cats has been argued to have negligible gains on nearly stock motors.

About cracking the motor open for a Z06 cam/springs, since your motor runs so strong, I really wouldn't recommend it, even though the price is very tempting. You'll need to spend some more money to get it tuned properly on a dynojet. I just wouldn't mess with it. I'm not a big fan of opening a motor up because it will NEVER be as reliable as before you opened it up.

Do all the bolt-ons and spray a 100 dry shot if you really want the extra power, but I'd be hesitant to open the motor up.

mine couldn't.. 50 shot on stock fuel pump.. Nitrous Express wet kit, w/ fuel safety switch, WOT (sprays only at wide open throttle), window switch which turned on spray at 3,800 rpm and cuts it off at 8,500, NGK copper racing plugs.. soo.. i used it one night for 3 runs and it did fine.. used it again a couple days later.. racing my friend.. in third gear.. around 85mph.. engine just died.. rpms dropped to nothing.. coasted to a stop. two blown plugs.

so yea a stock hyndaui elentra on stock pump can take a 75 shot, so can a civic.. i've seen both done in person.. but not a s2k. :/

The S starts with an insanely high compression ratio.

Nitrous loves high compression.
