$6K installed, but they are in Delaware.
Both of the popular centri kits can be had for around $5K, but then you have to do the install yourself

Don't worry about trying to fix DA.
The best place to learn to drive is right here. Study it, every section. It's gold for someone looking to learn to drive their Corvette in an optimal fashion on the drag strip.

My upgrades
I had an awesome 2006 6A and picked up more than a second in 1/4 mile ET with these mods in this order (my opinion):
VaraRam Snake Charmer cold air intake (buy one used off the forum $300-350) Read Vararam's site and they promise 3/10s improvement in ET or your money back.
Diablo tune until you get your headers $200 used off forum (sell it when you get your dyno tune)
CNC Ported throttle body $150 (get yours ported or exchanged) there's a huge difference of opinion on this, but the throttle response after this install was simply awesome on my car.
1 3/4" Long Tube headers (I have used both Kooks and LG pros with equal success on my last 4 cars 2 Corvettes and 2 5th gen Camaros) about $1000 if you watch the CF for sale threads carefully.
You put headers on and you will probably need a tune minimum $500
FAST LSXR 102 intake manifold $800 if you watch sale adds new
Drag Radials some time after your tune for about $500 - 800 used on CF Forum use 275 40R 17s on C5 Z06 front wheels...awesome package
My ETs went from right at 13 seconds at 102-104mph to 11.99 at 115 or so with all of the mods. Some of the CF members report better times with those mods, but try as hard as I could, I could not consistently run better than 12.1. My single 11.99 must have been a Banzai run since I only did it once.
Don't worry too much about the cost since, you can get somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4 of that back if you de-mod when you're ready to move on to your C7 Z06...lol.
