Default Just purchased first WS6 Trans Am!!!!!!

Hey guys,
I just purchased a 2000 trans am ws6 off a guy in detroit. It is a 6spd pewter t-top loaded that is in perfect i mean perfect condition. It only has 22000 miles and i picked it up for $18,250 which i thought was a fair price since i could basically eat off the wheel well it was so clean. It has never seen snow or rain. It only has a corsa cat-back that was installed at the dealership upon delivery so it was a dealer option, not factory.(I am wondering if it is corsa i will post a pic of rear, it is aftermarket though)Anyways after a lil background, WHAT IS THE BEST FIRST PERFORMANCE MODS FOR A LS1? I WAS THINKIN A LIB AND SMOOTHBELLOW? I AM NOT SURE AND I CANT GO OUTRAGEOUS SINCE I JUST BOUGHT IT.
Thx rob
P.S.- sold my 94 z28 to purchase so not new to modding just ls1!!

Lid, BGRA (brian greene ram air), air filter (k&n or holley), smooth bellow.
From what I've heard; don't do FRA (free ram air) on a WS6, and MAF sensors are a waste of money.

Thats not corsa tips. Congrats on the car, lid should be your first mod, cutout for power and sound. Then I would do some suspension.

$18K for a (for all practical purposes) brand new WS6. That's a great looking car and a fantastic deal. Now get that thing back outta the weather.

If its a corsa it should be fairly loud.

Aside from the normal bolt ons, K&N, lid, catback ect, If its not going to be driven in harsh weather i'd go ahead and do long tube headers, ypipe, tuning ect.
