What a deal, invest $6599 in your Corvette (and likely more to follow) and you decrease it's longevity and it's value at the same time. If you're not frequently on the race track, there and many better investments to be considered:crazy2: I'd ask for a lifetime loaner car!:woohoo:
Why own a vette in the first place? Or why even put miles on it that is only making the value go down. |

Go with the supercharger if the budget allows. :yesnod:

The best thing you can do at this point is realistically define your power goals and where you want the car to be.

A couple yesr ago I got the FI bug too. I asked a lot of questions in the FI section of the forum. I got good info back. The one I like the best is when I asked about the A4 trans. I asked how long it would last. One guy said 6 hours, another said 6 months. I concidered the info I got from FI folks, and almost ALL have recommended a trans upgrade. So this adds a little to the price. I figure I need a bit more money for the mod yet. Have fun with it. We modify our cars for us, not the next owner. :cheers:

Driving a 700hp Vette (Soon to be 900+ in the spring) is the most fun you can have out of bed with your clothes on hands down!!!!!:lol:
But on a serious note to the OP, you need to first decide if you really plan on keeping this car for a long time. If you have decided that then I say go for it and drive the hell out of it and enjoy it every chance you get! My car was paid for the day I bought it and I wanted a faster car. My choices were to keep my 01 Vert and dump $20k into to make it a monster or sell it and get a 07-08 C6Z? I'm glad I kept my C5, Driving it on the weekends away from the crazy work week and wife and kids is a great stress reliever! BTW the $20k was for an ECS Novi 2000 system, alkey, RPM level 6 trans, SS3200 stall, fuel system, DTE 3.42 rear, new wheels, new leather interior! I did it all in one shot! http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...c/IMG_0679.jpg http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...c/IMG_0682.jpg http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...c/IMG_0689.jpg http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...c/IMG_1922.jpg http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...c/IMG_0684.jpg |
More reading on the topic (Thanks to all especially BK and Thumper for tons of input)

Unless you are doing frequent track days where you are pushing it for 30 min sessions, FI is the way to go. +150rwhp, similar gas mileage and and a huge smile every time to mash the gas:thumbs:. Plus you can remove it and sell it when you are tired of it or ready to sell car. I would put it back on mine if I didn't track it so much.

anyone go with a roots type here? Lets hear/see
I did a vortech on my ole 93 lx5.0 and loved it(wound up with a R trim, iirc) , but HATED the vortech on my VQ35 motor(g35 coupe)... I have an inclination to go positive displacement for the instant hit effect... |
