Default What should I do next?

Hey, I just got my corvette a few weeks ago and I am loving it. I have gotten the itch to modify it some more and was wondering what I should do next. Also, I only have $700. Thanks

If emissions aren't an issue you can ditch the shortie headers and get long tubes.

Otherwise I would see if you could find some 4.10 gears.

Since you already have a D44 carrier, you should only need a new ring & pinion
