More HP modifications

I want ideas of modifications that I can do the work/install myself. The modifications I am interested is to increase horse power/rear torque. I use my vette as a daily driver and want to be able to use it. My signature shows all the mods i have done so far.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated

Thank you

The only thing you've done so far to add performance is to install the Vararam. The next logical step is to buy LT headers, complete with X mid-pipe, and maybe aftermarket catback, if your car is not a Z. Then get it dyno tuned, and enjoy a nice gain.

look around

My only suggestion is to look around and find a solid corvette high performance center. discuss your goals and budget plans and then set out on a course to achieve. Don't waste and once committed you'll be way ahead of the game. Good luck on your venture.

Did you have f45 shocks before the z06 shocks ?
If so do you like them better and and how different is the ride ?

Yes I had the stocks before I replaced them with the ZO6 shocks. The ride is much better firmer. I love it

Zeevette actually after I installed the vararam last month, my next mod was actually to get headers, x-pipe and cat eyes ofcourse I didnt decide what to get yet.
I was wondering actually what other mod I can go for after that

. I know greedy me, its a disease.

I say supercharge her. Thats what I want to do, but the old ball and chain won't let me spend the money. I keep waiting for the ultimatum "its me or the car". I sure would miss her

, but the vette would make me feel much better

LT headers would be a good start. How mechanically inclined are you? If you have a lot of knowledge, heads and cam would be good. Or even a supercharger.
