Default Help me choose my next mod?

I recently aquired a 2001 C5 Corvette. Current mods are TPIS Longtube Headers, No Cats, Corsa Pace Car Exhaust, Underdrive Pulleys, Vararam Intake, Smooth Coupler, Irdium Spark Plugs, Halltech Air Bridge.

It has C6 Chrome Rims on Toyo T1R's

What do you all think I should get?

I was thinking of getting HPTuners standard GM tuner.

Any other suggestions?

Maybe a head and cam package? You have some nice
mods there.You may want to cosmetically add some mods
to your engine and interior to personalize your ride,there's
certainly enough out there to make it unique looking.

Good Luck!!!

If you want more get up & go, I suggest installing a 3:42 rear gear and Yank SS3600 stall torque converter and then get a professional tune (don't buy a tuner Have it tuned by a pro) If you ever do heads/cam or forced induction in the future you would benefit having 3:42 gears & stall converter (you will also need a trans cooler)

I looked at your profile but it isn't filled out. Is the car an automatic or stick? If you have the A4 then I also would recommend changing your rear gear ratio to 3.42's.
