Default H/C Questions

Well i still haven't found the vette of my dreams, So i decited to start looking for some mods. I'm intrested in a H/C package. I just wanted to get some opinions and some proven combo numbers so i can start the hunt. I don't mind a lumpy cam or am i intrested in passing emissions. So guys let me know what works well with the c5 so i can start to hunt for used parts(or good deals on new ones). I looking to spend around 5k and i'm looking for 450whp and the car will be a M6. The only thing i'm certain of is the kooks headers i want but the rest is up in the air. Thanks for the info Steve

Contact John Page at 21st Cent MC, he'll build what you want as well as honestly advise if mods will affect steetablility. Then he stands behind the work!

Look at my sign, here's the results of my combo. 5k may be a bit shy not to mention the stock clutch will not be worth a crap so you can just about count on a clutch also. My setup is very streetable but I do have to mention, big cams don't like low RPM's...she bucks around 1300. The 4.10's help keep you in the power band. On the hwy at 60MPH I'm at about 1500RPM's, I get on average on the HWY 26MPG, city driving is a joke because you will not be able to keep your foot out of it so I have not idea what the true city driving would be and to be honest...who cares when your having so much fun. I'm considering the FAST 90/90 combo next which should net another 20HP so that would put me well over the 450HP
