If the car has the Corvette concepts mongoose package... It means airbox and sticker, sometimes headers. All hp increases reported at the crank. They are a small bolt-on shop.

What we mean is buyer beware. That said, the company you ordered your parts from is not a vendor here nor is this a vendor many of us would send you to. Since we drive Corvettes many companies take advantage of our percieved deep pockets. My advice is to shop around, just because someone SEEMS like they know what they are talking about, does not mean they do. Remember, the nice man on the end of the phone that knows everything, is trying to seperate you from your money. Try dealing with the vendors here on the forum as well as recommendations of those of us here. We will help when possible.

This seems like a reasonable $$ to HP ratio. If you wanted to get into the 500 HP range, then I would suggest dealing with a really well respected engine shop, as mentioned in the other posts.

It's not too awfull darn hard to get to 400HP, and you did so at a reasonable price. Can't the Mongoose guys give you appropriate badging - after all, your one of their customers????

Good luck finding what you need
