Question Silverado SS on order. What mods to seek out?

I'm looking to go with some type of forced induction in time but simple mods as soon as she hits home (two weeks ). So what should I do?

What's the best:
-Exhaust? Or should I do borla XR1 race exhaust. Sound really isn't an issue. I love to hear the motor.
-Headers?
-Any other mods I should look into?
-Are there any other turbo kits out besides the STS?

You help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Bauker

Livernois makes an under-hood turbo kit and get a nelson tune that should be your first mod.

I would seek out the MOD known as "BigTex" and study his posts.

Any sort of tune.
Bryan Herter (PCMFORLESS) has an SS, so for our particular application, you can bet you'll get a good N/A tune.

Shift kit and corvette servo would be a good start. Any type of FI is going to be hard on the trans. Headers depends on what kind of FI you are going to do, Radix I would do headers, STS no real need for headers. A stall will be a real good idea also.
What is it 2wd or AWD?
