Default Performance upgrade suggestions please...

Hi everyone. So I purchased a 2009 base coup with manual a few months ago. Love it. My last Corvette was a 1994 C4. This is WAY better. Wow!

I have some spare cash for upgrades. I'm only going to be driving winding mountain roads and doing flat out hwy booking. One thing I'm already interested in are stronger sway bars. I'm not too concerned about the brakes. They seem fine for the way I'm driving. I do wish there was more bottom end torque for a few of the gears. I've been looking at a A&A supercharger kit. Better traction/handling tires are always an option.

Opinions on anything to boost performance but keep it street worthy would be great.

Thanks!

Default upgrades

Go with ARH headers, 92mm FAST intake ( lots of low end torque and I mean lots! ) K&N air filter and Corsa Sport exhaust. I also bought some Hankook tires,very pleased with them wet or dry conditions and a lot cheaper than Michelins. Bat Pig out.
