2000 Corvette Improvements I just bought a 2000 vette. It's dropped and has a borla exhaust on it. I would like to start making changes to get more HP. I'm starting with an air intake system. Any body have recommendations as to which one is best??

They all work. The biggest thing is that you replace the very restrictive stock air box with something. If you're on a budget, the Blackwing is as good as any. Also, with a 2000 or earlier model, you'll eventually want to swap out your intake manifold for an LS6 one.
See my sig for some more ideas and Happy Modding!

Hey man.. I have a 2000 FRC. I just went to the dyno tonight for new numbes since zip tie mod (removal of the air lid and put k&n in place of factory paper unit) and ported MAS (removed honey combs). Base line was 305hp/322tq. Tonight, with 85 degree weather and 100% humidity, the car made 323hp/325tq. Best 5 bucks I ever spent on mods in my life. 
I'll get around and post the graph this weekend. I'm happy with it. I just ordered GHL exhaust and should be here next week hopefully. LS6 intake will be next as well then back to the dyno.
Also, I'm taking the ported MAS off and putting stock unit back on to play with a few things. Buddy with hptuners said its hurting me more then helping me. But, if you want a quick and easy mod and cheap, do the zip tie mod. I'll post pics this weekend as well.
