Hey, I have a 2000 vette, 45K miles, and I'm looking for suggestions on what route to take with its first major mods. Intake, cam, TB's, injectors, or, something like an A&A supercharger kit?

what's your budget? goals? DD or weekend warrior? be more specific.

usually first mods consist of cai, long tubes, mid pipes, catback, short throw shifter if an m6, and lowering bolts.

for cai i would check out vararam or haltech.

headers, kooks 1 3/4 with o/r x.

cat back, personally i like the way the borla xr-1 sounds on c5 vettes.

if it's and m6 you should probably consider a good clutch, if an a4 a stall would be in order. if you plan on a cam probably a big stall. 3600-4000.

My budget is around $3K and I have a friend who has a "mild" cam from his SS camaro. I already have a cat back and cai installed. My goals are definitely weekend warrior and to give away a little bit of my lack of tech knowledge, what's an M6 or A4?

In a nutshell, you would recommend more bolt on mods than jumping right into a supercharger. The supercharger route, obviously more expensive, seems to accomplish all goals without screwing around too much...

I wouldn't jump into a supercharger plus you won't get one for 3K. Remember you'll need supporting mods with the blower.

M6 = manual 6 speed
A4= Auto 4 speed

I'd say get a T-Rex cam, intake, full exhaust and tune. There goes $2000-$2500 and will put you at 425+ whp. Spend the rest on some wheels and tires or rear end/tranny mods.

Thanks. It's an M6 then.

Advice is much appreciated.
