Re: mods for vette you might try www.corvetteforum.com also
there doesn't seem to get much traffic in here
Headers are a good choice. Cam is always nice. since you have an auto look into a torque converter/tranny cooler/shift kit. Pulley, throttle body, etc (all that you mentioned) are good starts.

Re: mods for vette WElcome back, now for a few things, what gear ratio is in the car. As for the best change, if you have a stock gear, a torque converter and a gear swap are the best bang for the buck followed by a cam change. Look at a set of ported 5.3L heads from Patriot for about $1299. As for header, get the new LGM long tubes. The Pacesetters are junk. Only buy a long tube header, all the "shorties" are useless. Underdrive pulley is good, but is a lot of work to put on. Stay away from aftermarket MAF, they are only a source of problems. Ported TB is only worth about 1-2 HP if any.
