Default check engine light /engine codes

I have a 2006 z06 with 30000 recently purchased with mods completed by previous owner . Recently , I took off from a start kind of aggressively , immediately had reduced engine power with the check engine light. Drove home short distance slowly and parked it. After I scanned the codes it came up P1516, P2101,P2176. My question is , is this something I should be able to fix myself or do I get it loaded on a flatbed for a repair. I'm not near anyone I would trust with my baby and I'm just a novice turning wrenches, but willing to dive in if its something I can handle....Suggestions??
