Default 05 C6 Question?

I plan on a good breather system and tune at Corvette XXXXX. They are in Riverside Ca.

My ride is stock except for Corsa Sports and X pipe. CS of Riv installed my new Z51 sways and I love the improvement.

My question is I want a tune and air intake by them soon. I'm thinking headers would be nice! Should I spend the money on headers or just go for the tune and air? I'm no tracker. I ride harleys and seem to always want to get them to breath, fuel and exhaust as effiently as possible. My car is registered in Montana so there's no worry about Nancy Palisi and Dingy Harry's pollution concerns. Is the header thing worth it or should I do another mod that is not interior engine to get more HP?

I put a Banks System on my Ford V10 35 ft MH at $5k and was worth it. (headers, chip, trans tune, got 60 plus hp etc).

Thanks

Wait on the tune until you install headers, and yes they are definitely worth it.

Headers and a tune will net you more hp but my personal preferece would be to do all 3 at the same time.

My 05 ran 12.57 @ 112 MPH BONE STOCK.. I had a tune, Vararam CIA, and Drag Radials.. today I ran 12.11 @ 12.15.88 MPH... with no other changes.. With just a converter I should be in the 11s...
