just bought a c-5

I just recently purchesed a 97 C-5, 6-spd and was wondering if anyone had any advice on the first mods to do. I have already purchesed a Borla exhaust and am thining about a new intake manifold and throtle body. Any sugestions would be appericated. Thanks

Blackwing air filter and LS6 intake. Dont need to mess w/throttlebody until you get into big time mods. Long tube headers and some type of tune welcome and good luck

Do you want to stick strictly with performance or do you also want appearance?

How about new wheels and tires, upgraded interior, painted engine components, long tube headers/high flow cats, etc. Possibilities are limited only by your budget.

Everything you can possibly think of. Pics of your new vette would help us tell you what to do. !
