What I did would be considered mild and not very expensive. I chose everything with "Bang for the buck" in mind.
when I look back I wish I would have done the heads at the same time. I picked up about 80HP (to be proven when my tune is right).
On the L98, free up the intake, exhaust and ad gears and you will be amazed at the difference. You could also add some roller rockers for a little extra lift.
You never told us what year it is so I'm just guessing.

Okay, well...
what year is your car(determines what parts go with your car)

Where are you located(determines what parts for smog)

What trans is your car (determines what mods for trans, and rear end)

Mods on vettes can be anything from cup holders to race car parts, just depends who you talk to, and what you are looking for.

Tell us what you have, and you will be recommended everything you can think of that works on these.

Thanks for the willingness to help guys.

I have a 1996 CE. With the 330 hp LT4 6 speed. It has some minor bolt ons now. Cold air intake, headers, TB, exhaust, short throw shifter.

Just wondering what can be done more.. just wondering ...

oh, Im in smyrna ga. (atlanta) that means I have to get emissions every year..

I was really thinking about starting my modding with very "simple" stuff like braided brake lines maybe?

-A "hot cam" is a popular choice, with ported heads, and intake for your car.

-gears
You can find simple stuff at the corvette catalog places, or jegs, summit are popular here too.

Holley Stealth Ram, it is still sold but won't fit under a stock hood.
here is an intake comparison:
http://www.compcams.com/Community/Ar...?ID=1737510521

A few of us have modified it to fit.
It cost about $500 bucks with fuel rail and is a direct bolt on to for L98 and can be bought in a Vortec version for Vortec heads.


You can buy it already done for about $1100 from USM
