I’ve done a few mods. For me I had to change the head unit first thing. But the best one was to add NPP to a car that was not equipped with when it was new. Billy Boat.


Pioneer head unit with Apple CarPlay and front and rear cameras

Billy Boat NPP

Best Mod ... Supercharger

Take your pick:

1. Positive Displacement . . for fastest throttle response and most HP at lower RPMs between the two

2. Centrifugal . . for moderate throttle response but the most HP at high RPM between the two

Toss up between Caravaggio seats and upgraded head unit with wireless AA/CP & backup camera. Both are things that get used everytime I drive the car. Of course, being that it was a modded ZR1 when I bought it, it already had everything else I wanted, but even if I'm counting all those other mods, I'd still rate the seats and head unit as the best upgrades, with the head unit probably edging out as the best.

It's a toss up between:

1) NPP with NPP in a Box for on demand peace and quiet.

2) Vitesse throttle controller to give my personal preference to eliminate the laggy OEM electronic throttle mapping.

Installed Eagle Eye tail lights and Vette Lights 3rd brake light LED that flashes when hitting the brake, to hopefully wake up person behind me.

Actually, the lack of throttle response has saved my *** a few times although there are times it would be nice.

Aftermarket exhaust without question. The base exhaust on a Corvette is too quiet and the optional NPP exhaust although better, has a loud hollow motor-boat sound imho. Plus, the tips on both the base and NPP are both too small for my liking.
The Corvette needs a deep tone and rumble. I love listening to my exhaust while rowing through the gears.

Losing 50 pounds lightened my car's load and gained me a tenth of a second in the 1/4. Driver mod is always the best mod.

My "Mild2Wild" switch. Opening up my NPP exhaust at the lower rpms has such a great throatiness to it. i love it.
