we need more info.

What gears do you have? any mods now? what motor? exhaust? custom tune yet?

If all stock, I say gears to compensate for the lift, if you have larger tires, and BlackBear custom tune.

Blackbear tune, is a custom tune giving you back the performace you paid for, where GM hid it from you :)

With a 6" lift I'm going to assume you're looking to install 33" or larger tires.

You can go ahead and do a cold-air intake, LT headers, and full exhaust. Don't expect it to give you back 100% of the "Feel" you had before though with the stock tires.

Let us know what diameter tires you plan to go with and also what gear ratio you have if you happen to know it. If you don't, look in your glove compartment at the RPO sticker, look for one of these codes: GU6 (3.42s), GT4 (3.73s) or GT5 (4.10s). From there we can tell you what would be a good gear ratio for the new tires.

Then once you get all of it done you can get the PCM tuned for everything... yes it makes a difference when you get the tune done in reference to the other mods. One of the tuners through this forum can give you good tips on things such as octane, torque management, adaptive shift, shift point, etc etc mods would be good for your needs.

Also, a corvette servo and sonnax .490 boost valve would be great mods to do to your trans. It'll shift better and help the trans live longer.
