Default Sotp?

So whats the verdict? Im from the f-body world and knew all of the tricks that gave you the SOTP improvement, but Im still learning the vette school....

So what can I do to get some nice SOTP gain? The camaro loved a new air intake, what does a nice '99 6-speed vette like?

Did the C6/Z06 shifter already, and have done some minor cosmetics, so Im thinking performance gains....

Then again..maybe I want to put a HUD in....

Same things as the f-body. Start with the basics...intake, catback...ls6 intake manifold if you don't have one..headers, etc. Then a cam

Is the LS6 really worth it? The camaro camp was pretty squarely divided on this. Actually it was leaning towards not worth it earlier. I never did it on my 2000 Z28...
I saw too many claims about people not seeing any gains, or seeing maybe a 5 HP gain....the LS6 intakes are coming down in price, but will it really get me anything?

A cold air intake will get you at least 10 RWHP and you can get one for as little at $250. The best-engineered CAI may be the Callaway Honker at $400+.

Switching rear ends to a 3.90 or 4.10 will also bring SOTP increases in acceleration, but this can be costly.
