Default New to LS1 Tech

Hey everyone, just getting started on this site and I'm eager to learn from the overwhelming amount of knowledge and experience contained in the membership of LS1 Tech. I am a 26 year old Navy sailor currently on recruiting duty in Indiana. I own a 2000 Trans Am Convertible with very little upgrades. I am married and a father of two, so time and money is spent very sparingly on the car. Right now, in terms of performance, the only upgrades I've done is attach a functional ram air style hood, k&n air filter, and some chasis work (subframe connectors, strut tower brace). I did place a Billy Boat performance exhaust on over the winter last year. If anyone has any advice on what I could do on a relatively modest budget, I would be all ears.

If it's not too much $$ for u, I would do the exhaust.
