Granatelli MAF is a waste of money, you can gut your own MAF or if you have an '02-'04 Z06 it is already done. Throttle body pass tube is again in my opinion a waste of time and money. As far as an adjustable fuel pressure regulator- no need on a stock or slightly modified engine. Stick with a good cold air intake- the Vortex Rammer seems to be working well for some gents on this forum. Personally I use the Halltech Stinger, but there ae many good choices.

Do some research here. Most of the stuff you mentioned is worthless or worse. Not too many people here have had good luck with the Granitelli MAF.

Get a good cold air induction system and headers. Probably your best bang for the buck bolt ons.

By the way, I am 90% sure the LS1 fuel pressure is 58psi and if you install a fuel pressure regulator, you will have to redo the whole sytem because currently you have a fuel system with no return.

See, I ask my wife too. She always says yes because she thinks I value her opinion on money spent on the vehicles. It's just a game to make her feel special. Plus, she digs the vette and sometimes get excited about new parts. I call it my stay married and a gearhead program.

Stay away from the other trick stuff.

I would do the following:

Cat back exhaust (I'm running Corsa Touring)
Air Intake (I've got a VARARAM)
A good tune

I bet this will give you a seat of the pants improvement.

BTW, anyone who thinks they are in charge at home needs to come out of the coma. The Queen is in charge at my house and I have my ********* attached. You are all welcome to stop by and I will show them to you.

Thanks, Jack, for turning the caps lock off! Everyone has given you good advice on the bolt-ons. Finally, getting the wife's approval is definitely the way to ensure the ********* stay attached!
