I would bolt on a ls7!!!!!! Seriously though headers,ported throttlebody,u/d pulley.But headers would be the best. I think they make it sound sooooo much meaner and give you the best gains on a bolt on car. Just get a good set you deffinetly get what you pay for in this department.

yep, its a bolt on..hehehehe

headers-yes,
dr's for the track will get you the most bang for the buck. if your car is an auto then u most likely have 2.73' in the rear, or the optioned 3.15's. a good torque converter will help alot, some 3.73's will also help.
but i would first take it to get it tuned. it really helps. plus most p/u about 20 or so hp and 25-30 tq with just a proper tune.
good luck

If you do any of the stuff mentioned you should seriously consider a clutch, the stocker has a rough time handling stock power, and once you up that it'll start to give out.

I'm pretty noobish here, but nobody even mentioned the LS6 intake manifold. That's pretty bolt on, and decent gains. The 2000 vette doesn't have the LS6 intake does it?

theres more to it than that, not enough gains for the $$ and hassle involved.
