Glad to be here on CorvettForum! My first Corvette. Just picked it up last week. It's a 2006 MT 3LT with only 45k miles. Already has Pypes Axle Back, AirRaid Intake, Vitesse Throttle Controller, and DiabloSport i2 programmer. The DiabloSport was only used to eliminate the skip-shift. I'm a little scared to try anything but I'm sure I probably need to run a different mapping for the exhaust/intake. Looks simple, just afraid of bricking my car! I'm sure there are all kinds of tips/tricks with the tune.

So far the experience has been everything I expected an more. Absolutely love this car!
