Well now it's time to start on the big stuff... maybe a set of catbacks and a airfilter sounds good to me!

Make it go faster! as suggested intake, Vararam and Halltech get good reviews, and catback, I have heard alot of good reviews with all the systems, if you want to get serious, look over at the F/I N2O section on the forum, good luck! If you like the look pretty stuff, paint your calipers.

On to the fun stuff....

How about a VE Interior, cat back exhaust, Blackwing, drilled and slotted rotors like Wilwoods or Eradispeeds, Bilstein shocks and Hotchkis sways, some nice wheels +1 or +2 upgrade with some nice sticky tires, and we haven't even talked about underhood dress up......

Color matched fuel rails, washer and radiator recovery tank, chrome hinges and hardware, carbon fiber coupler.....

How about a nice S/C from A&A Corvettes, higher numerical rear end.....too much?

Almost forgot a High Perfomance Hood Seal, custom license plate frame and a magnetic drain plug on the diff...... all good for about 50hp!

Hurst or B&M would be my first mod if it's a manual. GHLs not far behind.

Congratulations, and, Welcome!

And, do not fear: "Moditus", although a chronic disease, merely entails a mod or two, or three... to relieve symptoms. We understand and support Corvette "Moditus" sufferers here.

Best Wishes,
Eden
