Thanks for the input guys, So far I have ordered the vararam intake, c6z06 shifter, corsa pacecar w/tigershark tips, and the column lock bypass kit. Tomorrow I will be ordering the TSP coated longtubes w/x pipe.

My first mods were a Corsa pacecar catback and black Z06 motorsports wheels with non-runflat tires. Then I got FAST 78mm intake, TSP headers, a Vararam and a tune. I'm doing gears and a clutch next, then a cam. I'll probably get a TRak cam from Thunder Racing and some TFS heads further down the road.

There are a few things I wish I had done differently. I kind of wish that I would have gone with LG or Kooks headers instead of the cheaper TSP headers. There were some fitment issues and I'm kinda wishing that I would have gotten stainless headers instead of coated steel. I also should have bought a used LS6 intake instead of the 78mm FAST, but I wanted an intake right away and the FAST was easier to find.

I have a B&M ripper shifter that I'll install soon, just don't really have the time right now. For the clutch and gears, I'll probably have Cartek do it all. Install one of their clutches and a set of 3.90s or 4.10s. I'll just wait till they're having another gear install special on the corvette forum.

Ordered the LS6 intake manifold and the coolant pipes and plugs. Next is longtubes, x pipe, oil sending unit, and wheels. The longtubes are gonna be a couple weeks cuz TSP is making some minor changes to the headers.

I said f*ck it, and ordered LG pro long tubes with their off road x pipe. Now the car just needs wheels and the oil sending unit.
