adding HP to 2007 convertable

OK. I am new to the corvette and just bought my 2007 triple balck with 2,500 miles. LOVE IT. I would like to add some horsepower but dont want to go hog wild. I heard adding cold air intake, Diablo sport, and a new exhaust will add some HP? Not sure how much. Any suggestions or thoughts.

Thanks

Take a week or two to do some reading here in Corvette Forum. Lots of great info here and about half of all the posts are about increasing HP

Good luck and honestly 500-550 RWHP is a perfect amount for the street. When I was at 520 RWHP the car was a monster on the streets to deal with. It was that 9.90 time slip that I wanted to get and still have a street car TOO. We'll see when Moroso opens. Again, GOOD LUCK !!!
