Default Sayin hey from NJ

So i've been trolling on here for a bit now and figured that I'd say hi...

I bought a '99 c5 about 9 months ago and have been trying to learn a lot about the car. (Had mustangs before) I'm over on the corvetteforum but there's so much info here I figure I can make some new friends here as well

Nothing crazy done with the car yet...Blackwing and Corsa Pace w/GTR tips

Pending in about a week or so: Trip to TTP to install cam and headers (waiting for the headers to ship out) Baseline numbers of 310/322 rwhp/rwtq so I'm excited to finally bite the bullet and start the mods.

I'll appologize in advance for any stupid Noob questions

Christian

Thanks for the welcome...I'm going with their stage 1 - 224/224, 112lsa. I'm also going to have them put a set of headers on for me.

I'm not looking to (ie - can't afford) to go too crazy yet and would like to maintain near stock drivability as I'll put 10-15k miles on her a year...she's not a garage queen and not even my daily driver!!

A good tune will go a long way. I have their Version 3 and have taken 2 trips from NY to FL roundtrip filling up 4 times each way.
