Default Budget Performance

Hey guys your thoughts would be much appreciated. I already have the Exhaust. (Bola Stinger Quad with X-pipe)
Now after reading and studying many comments here on the forum. I'm thinking of doing this next.

Halltech Stinger Intake ( can change back to stock in 15 to 30 min if needed )
MSD 8.5 super conductor sparkplug wires
AC Delco rapid fire sparkplugs
Good tuneup
Lee, Dave and all others what do you think?
Thank you. for your thoughts and help.

Of course, I'm partial towards the Halltech Stinger, but the next best thing you can do is have your car dyno-tuned. Forget the other stuff for now. I hope to have my car dyno-tuned, especially before my next smog test is due.

By the way, if you want a cold air intake system without spending a fortune, consider my CAI mod. It keeps intake air cool to prevent the ECU from retarding the timing during slow moving and stop & go driving. It can be found on this page:

Thank you for your reply Dave. Tell me, when you have your Vette smogged do you have to put your stock air intake back in? Is there a good shop in San Diego to get a Dyno Tune done on the Vette? West Coast Corvette in Anaheim is now offering Dyno Tune, What do you think?

Yes, I swap in my 02 Z06 intake box for the smog, about one week before. I would say that either A&A in Oxnard or LAPD in LA are good choices for a dyno tune by guys with lots of C5 experience.
