Welcome to Corvette ownership! The cat back system is only good for 5 or 10 hp. An air cleaner is probably also good for a minimal increase. A cold air intake such as Vararam can give you more because of the air intake location and flow. There's been much debate on the merits of various intake systems here. Have fun. Don't forget to wave.

The catback (B&B) gain on a stock car is marginal - maybe 5-8 hp. A good intake (Blackwing, Halltech, Vararam, etc) can be good for 20 hp.

Congrats on your acquisition.
