Now that I got my Vette I would like to get some performance mods done to it.
I found a reputable speed shop to do the work. I just don't know what to start with.
It has a Billy Boat Catback exhaust that the previous owner had installed.
I want to start off small and work my way up. I've got a $2000 budget
What are a few wise mods that I can build on later?
The car's an 89 L98 Automatic. I would rather have a 6 speed but unfortunately I have bad knees.

 

since you've already got the exhaust, the next weakest link in the L98 is the intake. there are several different options here. you can go with a TPI style intake, with a bigmouth base and large runners, or the superram and the miniram. it really depends what kind of engine you want: a torque monster or a high-rev screamer.

other recommended mods:
Long tube headers
1.6 roller rockers (very worth while)
ported plenum

and check those cats you have on your car. if the main cat was not replaced with the catback, i would definately suggest changing that too. when you get the headers, that will take care of the precats.

btw, ive been realllllly interested in the B&B exhaust. how does it sound? any overwhelming resonance issues? i havent heard many reviews of it.
