Default New Mods, what do you think?
I just dropped my 01 coupe off to have headers, thermostat, dyno tune, lowered(on stock bolts) and red z06 calipers. Already have pace car's.

Yes I'm excited and Yes I'm mechanically declined so am not doing my own work.

If anyone is in Wisconsin, and doesn't have their own shop; I'd really recommend CorvetteSports in sheboygan falls. These guys are experts.......Car comes back Friday, I'll post dyno...........

The thermostat is a really nice touch... Make sure they reprogram the fans.

after figuring out that asking about which headers people prefer, is like asking what kind of beer is best I went with Melrose Longtubes; jet hot coated. The shop did say I'm missing alittle "grunt" on the rwhp as compared to the LG's, but probably not a big deal unless I'm going for Big HP down the road which I'm not...........

Very good dude.

Long tubes are the best!

Looking forward to seeing the dyno.
