If you want that kind of increase, don't waste your money with mods and install costs. Head/CAM will work but personnaly, I would bolt on the new PROCHARGER exclusively made for the C5. It costs $5500, $6300 for install. Thats just a tad bit more than Head/CAM packages or about the same and many will tell you that it beats most Head/CAM packages hands down. Also, PROCHARGER has been in the Industry for quite a while and is the closest competitor (some say better) than Vortech (which by the way does not have a C5 kit out yet).

If you are looking for 400 Crank... bolt ons will work.....
Yep...I have over 400 HP at the crank with just the Vortex, Corsa Indys, and Powerloader...if I want more, I'll probably just put the nitrous kit in...although the supercharger kits are getting cheaper... :cool:

Cheers,

Steve
