Same thing goes for the late 03s, which is what I have. I ran into a fuel problem at only 460rwhp, now I'm running a KB BAP. The 04s have the C6 fuel system which has intank pumps, the pre 04s the pump is outside behind the rear wheel. If you don't plan on going over 600rwhp 03-04s will be just fine with a BAP.

* the steel shift forks would be an improvement.

The only problem on my 04 was a couple of leaking diff's fixed under warrenty, and I drive it like I stole it
