so currently i have a 07 ctsv with the 404 stroker kit and the ported ls6 heads, a fast 96mm manifold and tb, CAI and full exhaust. im looking for suggestions on some small upgrades i can do. eventually i would like to put a blower on, so with that in mind does anyone have any ideas.

As far as power the dyno numbers came out around 500 but the owner said his dyno was a little more stingy compared to others.
You'll spend a fortune on a blower setup for your stroker. In all honesty, I'd put my money into a Nitrous system with a high quality progressive controller. You won't be able to match the price or performance of a 200 shot controlled progressively.
For the money and the punch I agree on a nitrous setup, skys the limit with it as well you could do a small shot or a nice progressive system which will just be insane on
I would def like to address the rear, im just a little hesitant cuz the prior owner had told me there were some upgrades to it but couldnt give me a list of what all was done to the drivetrain. i can see the bracket to reinforce it and it still has IRS but other than that i don't much about it. Nitrous could be a good choice, i had A Z06 before this car and did a Harris works plate setup with that so i wanted to try something different. Plus i dont like having to fill up the bottle .ha. Thanks for all the input though.. Any other Vs in the Fayetteville area?
Post up a pic of the rear diff. That would really be where I'd throw the money first. Urethane bushings everywhere, coilovers and getting the car properly cornerweighted and the suspension tuned will make a big difference in the overall characteristics of the car regardless of whether you take it to the drag strip, road course or even just cruise it around and raise a little hell on the street.
If it helps at all, I just completed a 402 Stroker build on my 06' LS2. It made 500 RWHP - 490 RWTQ with Trick Flow Heads, 92 Fast. Before Stroker build put a complete Creative Steel drive line in with the 8.8. Same cross road as you, whats next, spray or blower? Have not decided but near term just working on managing getting power to hook up properly.... likely need more tire on rear still running standard tire size.
As mentioned in replies, the tranny takes a beating with S/C set-up.
