Default Simple performance upgrade

I was looking to make some minor performance upgrades to my 05 C6. I'm looking for increased power not suspension or brake upgrades. What simple non intrusive upgrades can I make that will give me a little boost without changing it too much from stock?

Thanks,

Patrick

A Vararam and throttle spacer are fairly simple, but it does include having to cut or swap out your radiator shroud, plenty of posts on this if you do a search. Then there is headers, sounds radical but they can be put on now, and then swapped back out before selling the car and sold separately.

If you are not really into mechanics, you could just have your car tuned by someone like Chuck Cow, this would be most beneficial to an auto, but a stick car will gain as well.

Chuck CoW tune. The car will look, sound, and run like stock with the exception of an increased fun factor.
