What to do first?
What was your best mod.

From your experiences, what would you do first, second, third, etc......

Whats your goal?
Wake it up?
Road racing?
Drag racing?
Highway monster?
First round of mods should include: Intake, Tune, Headers/Exhaust. You can get around 500WRHP. That should keep you busy for a while...
Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.

First thing I did with mine. . . . . I drove it bone stock for a year and half. Got to know the car. Learned what it could and could not do. Gave me time to understand what I'd want to tweak, and by then I had good reasons why - not just because the idea sounded cool, or some fella I've never met and don't know said it was cool.
End result was I'm very happy with the mods that were done.
Don't get me wrong. I'm definitely not anti-mod. Just learn your car, and take the time to determine what you really want, and what you don't want.
Many mods can get into real bucks. And some have compromises attached to them. Take your time and if you decide to proceed, ONLY deal with people very familiar with C6 in general and the LS7 in particular.

Just send it to Jason at Katech and tell him you want the works! You will be pleased!

Tune is the best bang for the buck but you may have factory warranty issues. Next is air intake. This combo will gain a combined 30 or so rwhp for $700 to $800. But again, those pesky warranty issues.

Quit messing around with the small stuff. Go straight to the twin turbo and 4l85e conversion.

I would start with the driver mod as I would bet the car is faster than you can drive it now. I am still working on my driver mod ( i thought I was a good driver untill i got my Z, now it is clear I suck).
Good luck in what ever you do!

Andrew, I have ARH headers, X pipe, Lingenfelter CAI and MAF and tune for 497 rwhp. I have a ported intake an TB comming soon as well. You are welcome to check out my car when ever you want. There should be a get together very soon at Sherway gardens as part of the annual 1st of the year get together. I am also investing in driver training. I already took the BMW performance Driving school in Spartanburg SC a few weeks ago and will be running up here at Mosport this year with Powell Motorsports. Either John and Devon are stellar teachers. I have nothing to prove and plenty to learn still....

First thing I thought when I got in mine, "jesus this is slow." Every time I get a new car, I really realize how big of a difference mods really make
