Need help modding a stock 2003 corvette..WHERE TO START?

[PaysoProductions]

Ok guys, my buddy just purchased a nice red drop top c5 ls1 auto, he wants the most reponsive mods, but he does not know where to start. I was thinking of tune,intake and exhaust and that should be good enough but whats the best intake? best exhaust?. He doesnt want to go crazy with turbos and cams but defitnanley wants to add a little more power to the car. Please give all suggestions also who does the best tune on a C5?!?!!

What BigWheelinBubba said(stall)

PM NTIMID8 about the tune!

 

[OnyxSSS]

tune and tran/converter mods...then look for some traction

 

[1BADAIR]

convertor and headers
ntimid8 for the tune

Gear and stall along with exhaust and a tune.

yea what he said. biggest performance chage is going to come from those 4 right there. not the cheepist, but all 4 can be done @ once. exhaust has to be removed to pull the trans/axle assy. puter needs reflashing for the gear.

I had a d1 procharger on mine which made it pretty responsive.

Drag Radials/3400-3600 stall/100 shot.

That'll make anyone smile.

A tune might be needed when you do a big converter like 3400+ so that's something to think about.

Get ahold of Kirt/Kirk at Vector, he has Greg working with him and he does excelent work IMO. I can do the gear swap while he changes the stall. Let me know what is in there now and what you want to go with. I will quote on the gear and my labor to swap out the gear and contact Greg for the converter and his labor.
