Question.....
I am in the research stage of purchasing my first Corvette!! I Can't tell you how excited I am! I don't plan on modifying too much, but I would like to do the following:
1) Cam
2) Headers
3) Full exhaust
I am looking for the best performance and sound without affecting driveability. Any suggestions on a combo? If possible please let me know what I should expect to spend for all of this installed. Also, how much additional hp should I expect to see if any? Finally, if I am missing a must have mod in here, please let me know.
Thanks!!

Depends greatly on which cam, headers, exhaust and intake you get. That's such a blanket statement to say 80rwhp without knowing any real details. That's like asking, i want to buy groceries i know i want milk, cereal and pot pies how much is it going to come to?
That said, I would venture to guess up to 470rwhp, assuming 370 is what you start with and you get another 100rwhp from all your updgrades.
Also, say goodbye to your warranty - such a shame a new 2009 and the warranty is gone that quickly. You honestly may be better off getting a used prior-year, paying less and not feeling so bad about the warranty. But then again, obviously you have more money than I do because I wouldn't be buying an 09 and throwing parts onto voiding the warranty.

$4k - $5k installed is an estimate you can use for planning purposes.
$2k for the cam package
$2k for headers and CAI
$.5k for tune
With good deals it can be done together for $4k. With top of the line valvetrain components and ported TB, it will be $5k at some of the better known shops. Install deals vary by location.
