Default Best mods for 95?

My friends wife wants to get him some parts for his 95 vette for his birthday. He occasionally takes it
to the track but wants to make no internal engine modifications. What parts will her money be best
spent on? This car is a totally different anial from my 72 big block so I dont know what to tell her.
Thanks.

any of the mods in my signature would be nice.
It kinda depends on her budjet and her goals.


I would start with a K&N filter and cat-back exhaust.


maybe he would prefer appearance mods instead.... wheels? :seeya

If your goal is a faster Vette, gears and looser TC are the two best mods for an auto trans Vette.

I like my mods. :yesnod: Someone already said that budget is important. My performance mods are listed, however, I have some cosmetic things as well. This helps to personalize the car to a particular person. May be something she could look into. I have tha harness bar from Arizona Speed and Marine, Chrome set me back 6 bills. I have the leather C4 Console cover from Mid-America, less than $100. Carbon fiber shift ****, and I have the Eckler's sill guards. These type of items also make great birthday gifts. :D Hope this helps!

Exhaust catback will be towards $1000+, Corsa is the best for the LT1's. He sounds like the type that would like Corsa.

For an automatic, 3.54/3.73 gears and a 2600-2800 stall torque converter.
For a manual, 4.10 gears.

I love my new muffler eliminators and it only cost about 80 bucks.
Tell him to cut the air lid also.
