Default I need some help deciding!

I got some new borla exhaust for my 2005 corvette, and i was planning on doing some performance tuning and putting on a cold air intake. for the cold air intake i thought of getting a Vararam. Any idea or comments on what i could do with the performance tuning? Need some help deciding because I don't know to much about the performance chips/tunes.

First, there are no "chips" in these cars, so don't think in that direction.

I have nothing to offer. You will get some help here but I think you'll get more dialog and maybe more info in the C6 Scan/Tune section, plus there is already a lot of info to read about there:

Which Borla did you go with? do you plan on adding anything else soon? A typical dyno tune will run you in the 500 dollar range.

the borla i went with was the Borla 11759 Multi-Core Rear Section Exhaust. It sounds great. and no I wasn't planing on getting anything else for the exhaust. I was only going to find a good tune and a the Vararam cold air intake.

Ah, I have an Airraid intake and absolutely love it. Have a professional tuner near you dyno your car and create a tune that best fits your modifications.
