Suggestions?
Hello all, just bought my vette yesterday and I'm already planning mods... I know some guys are purests and enjoy a stock cars character.... to each his own, I prefer speed. Ha, I'm on deployment currently and will be capable of spending a couple thousand on it when I return. I will drive it for the first time in August... mods will come shortly after. Ha... I'm considering a catted ARH 1 7/8" kit with 3"x3" X-pipe plus the Corsa Sport kit meant for a Z06 (PN 14164 for 3" piping the whole way). I figure this will be closer to 2500 but that's manageable. Any suggestions for me? I plan on keeping it NA... for awhile at least. What other good bolt-ons are there for power? Callaway Honker, FAST 102 Intake, Skip Shift Eliminator, FAST 102 throttle body???

Pace yourself soldier
thanks for your service 
.
You need to realize that your car will require a tune after the exhaust.
you may also want to do the t-stat @ $20 with the exhaust. the skip shift can be tuned out at that time. keep in mind that the tune will set you back @ $500
all those options are great, but unless you have done some head / cam work their benefits will not be offset by the cost.
Also what year and engine did you get.
good luck and enjoy.
