Welcome ... certainly a good list of mods to start off with.

You'll love the difference that you see as you open up your vette's potential.

Good Luck

I'm already mod crazy and I have a Vararam intake and black z06 wheels on the way to my house. I am also planning to get dynamaxx lt headers, hi-flo cats, and x-pipe, and a Borla Stinger quad oval catback. And maybe heads and cam down the road.
The info on this site is fantastic!! Everyone here seems very knowledgeable and mature. Hopefully I will be seeing some of you soon at the track or at Vette rally's.Thanks again for all the effort and keep up the good work!
First thing first! Please lowerrrrrrr your ride and then additional mod of-course Welcome to the new addiction.

Phuc!

Be sure to check out the Southeast Section of the forum for Tampa area events near you. Watch for the "Misfits" threads.

In addition, you may want to check out the Tampa Bay Vettes Corvette Club, they have LOTS of events going on and a pretty decent group to hang with.
