Re: 2K to spend (c5 devil)
depends what you want to do.. If 1/4 mile times are your goal get the converter/gears. I ran 12.17@114 with flp headers/cats/Vig3000/3.15s/LS6 intake. If I had 3.42s I could have got in the 11s..
If you do a large cam you will be disappointed with a stock converter and you will need tuning - I would do this AFTER you do the converter :)
100-150 shot is by far the easiest way to go fast but you will find it was too easy and will want to go quicker anyhow. Plus getting bottles filled is a pita :)

Re: 2K to spend (kp)
I am looking to spend some money on my 2002 automatic corvette as well. I currently have corsa exhaust and i am running a 13.24. I want to increase my 1/4 mile time drastically. Any ideas on what exactly i should do in order to see huge gains in my time? Headers? Torque converter? Intake? PLease help. Thanks

I didnt pick up much with the LS6 intake when I put it on but I knew I was doing cam and heads down the road so I went ahead and did it.
I put all the mods on my car except the heads/cam at 76K. I did the heads/cam at 79K. If the car is running good I wouldnt be too worried about a 100 shot..

I heard that 97-99 vettes gain 10rwhp from ls6 intake....but 2000-up don't cuz they come with the ls6 intake stock......
If you are gonna do a heads/cams job, go with the intake manifold. I rather would spend it in a 3.90 or 4.10 rear end.

Screw the wet shot! It may sound cool but do the TC and gears. If your motor has 60k plus mile then consider pulling it and a rebuild will make the spray seem Gay!!!!!!!! :reddevil

Re: 2K to spend (c5 devil)
c5 devil, what made you choose that over a cam because i'm going throught the same problem right now. I'm either going to get a cam or TC and gears? If you don't rag on your car to much is your tranny going to hold up for alot of miles?? One last question who is doing the work?
thanks
