New C7 Owner
Hi. Just purchase my first corvette, a 2015 C7 Z51 convertible. I have to say I love it! Looking to add some performance parts, so with the help and advice from all of you, I'm sure to have a even greater car. Looking forward to some great discussion. Thanks

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your C7!
As Vetteman Jack suggested you will find lots of member insight in the C7 sections of the forum.
Forum Member, ktoonsez did an extensive study on air intake systems on his car. Some of the reading gets a little technical but it may give you some insight. His study is at: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rket-data.html
Best wishes with your C7 modding!

Mods
Hi,
I also just purchased a 2015 z51 convertible in crystal red tint coat with 1800 miles. The first mod I did was adding a sprint booster. I have added sprint boosters to all of my cars for the last several years. I think the vette has a soggy throttle response and the a8 puts you in a high gear all the time. This was not a good combination. The sprint booster makes it feel so much better! It is way more fun to drive even though the mod does not add hp. A lot of members think this is an unnecessary mod but trust me just add a throttle controller.
