Exhaust, tint, lower, then step back, smile, and think of the next step.

Congrats on getting her almost paid off - will be a nice feeling when you are out from under a payment.

First mods will depend on whether you want performance or looks. For performance, LT headers, heads/cam, supercharger, etc. will do the trick.

For looks, new wheels, new interior, led taillights, etc.

I'd say a CAI and Headers, Hi-Flow Cats, X-Pipe and of course a Dyno Tune

That thing will be singing You'll probably be around 385 RWHP and that my friend would truelly dignify your Vette

IMHO Only!

Thanks,Matt

Mods....how fast do you want to go? Bing mods or performance? Take your time and think about it throughly. Over the yrs I ended doing 2 major power adders the 1st being H/C then to what I have today.
