I just picked up my first Corvette, and added my first mod yesterday a Hurricane CAI! Very excited and glad I purchased this car. I don't make alot of money like most of you guys do! :D And was looking for some econimic mods that I can do next?

Congrats on the new Vette and coming over to the dark side! The first mod is start to a never ending list of parts and mods! :D Hurricane CAI is a good piece. When you say economic, how economic are we talking. I would suggust if you have the CAI perhaps an exhaust, 160 thermostat, actually I could go on, really need to know what sort of dollars are you looking to spend?

If you search around you should be able to find someone selling a used exhaust for less than $500.

Thanks again, I was wondering if anyone has a list of under $1000 mods you can get for 2004 C5's? Nothing fancy just a list of some items that you know would add some performance.

CAI (which you have already), 160 thermostat, bigger radiator, port and polish throttle body, exhaust, NOS :D ;)

Depending on what exhaust that you pick up you might be able to gain 10-15 HP out of it! Well maybe with a tune on top of that. :D
