Default What should I do next....

What next....
So I sold my motorcycle so I have some extra $$ to play with.. I just got my artic 97 mn6 back a few weeks ago from a cam, timing chain, oil pump install. Since owning for the past year I have done full exhaust headers, cai, z07 wheels, c6 z06 big brake kit, short shifter and lowered.

What can I do next?.. Im looking for some ideas. I was looking into the corbea seats or hid headlights but I'm leaning toward performance mods. I'd like the appearance to seem mainly stock because I love how it looks already.

Lets hear it.....

I'm leaning toward ls6 heads with intake and TB but maybe a charger if I can afford one. My max budget is 3k... Any ideas?

What are thoughts about gears? Keep in mind it's not my DD but I don't want it to turn to a race car and not be road worthy. I love taking the vette everywhere on weekends and shows.

A&A or ECS kit will solve your issues.... Keep the gears stock. Long legs are nice with boost.

There is nothing like boost. If I were you, I would call A&A or ECS and get a supercharger kit. In my opinion it is the best mod you can do. The car remains very driveable on a daily basis and when you want to have fun, just play with your righ foot, it will give you all the fun you're looking for
