Yes. It's called mod the driver by increasing his/her skill behind the wheel. Doing this is essentially free and it will help you beat cars with 50+ more rwhp than yours in most any venue of competition.

If you're looking for a place to start, check out the links in my signature. Learn the techniques for your chosen venue and then practice, practice, practice.

Ya, just do a search under Zip Tie. 15-20 min mod. 10-15 hp.

Then go get yourself a twin turbo system, that should hold you over for a while.

The best money I spent was on the hood seal...good for 12hp...LOL. Seriously, you own a Vette, nothing is cheap.
