Default New Corvette owner

Recently bought me a 2007 C6 Convertible. 37 k 6 speed.
I want to add some bolt ons and up the power a bit. I am
adding a VaraRam Snake Charmer cold air intake tomorrow.
Thinking about doing a premium fuel computer tune next,
Them Maybe ? a small shot of nitrous. Any thoughts ?

Thanks

Those wheels look great on the VY, you don't see too many people leave the stock ones on. I have the vararam on mine, it's great especially when it's in the 50's and 60's at night. I would hold off on the tune until you're finished with bolt-ons. It can be expensive.

First things first. Drive it, get the feel for it and enjoy it. Do some searching on the site to find out what you will want to do. Tune and "CAI" are great mods to start with. Check out the tuners in your area too.

Hey I have a brand new rear cargo mat for a convertible! I bought it not knowing that it was for a Vert. Send me a PM if you are interested in it.
