mod-free woe is me
This is my first vette and after a couple of months it is still mod-free. What would you do first with about a thousand bucks on this stock AE?

In this order:
1. Upgrade the air intake about $250 to $400
2. Replace the original AC/Delco battery with an AGM type $75 to $100
3. Scrap the run-craps and get some Michelins or Pirelli (don't know) about $700 to $800, roughly a $grand$ total
....oooooooor....save the grand until you can put a few more with it...buy some disposable gloves to prevent grease from creeping under your fingernails and install these items... Long tube headers, with a new intake and a modest cam then go get a good tune. That will get the hair on the back of your neck to stand up!
