Default Help out a N00B

I have a '90 Vette. I don't know a whole lot about tuning, but I'm definitely willing to learn if someone will explain it to me in terms I can understand. My question is: what are the best mods I can do on a limited budget?

I already have the Flowmaster mufflers, which were surprisingly (and almost rediculously) easy to install. I also have the K&N and the air foil. My next planned step is headers. After that, where do I go? :confused:

I would check the C4 parts forum.. You can often picked up used parts fairly cheap.. I would try a custom perf chip ($200ish new), new throttle body ($3-400ish), injectors, headers, msd ignition.. larger runners... there are many things you can do.. You might be able to find some perf heads in the c4 parts forum as well.. Lots of guys are trading in an upgrading.. Stuff can be found cheap, an every so often, some nice person gives stuff away.. :jester
