First Mod's? I'm looking to help a friend who bought a 98 C-5 last night. I would guess the initial power mod's would be the same as my 99 SS. Lid, exhaust and so on. 
Any info would help a bunch, thanks...

But thats just my side, some ppl may see it differently

Re: First Mod's? I wouldnt mod the MAF at all, I dont think any of the "free mods" are worthwhile on a C5, I havent even done a TB bypass on my boltons+cam car.
The first things I would do is a Vararam or Halltech TRAP, a shifter (either a modified stock one, or aftermarket), 02 Z06 muffler system. After that I'd do headers, then gears.
There is no real power in the exhaust on a C5 except for headers IMHO, but its worth upgrading because the stock system sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
