Default Stage One Performance questions ; Please Help

Hi all,

I am thinking about doing the Stage One Performance Package for my 01' Z06 from West Coast Corvettes. This package includes...

1. Complete Vortex Ram Air Intake
2. High Flow power duct
3. 178 Thermastat
4. Throttle body bypass kit
5. Adjustable fan cooler
6. MSD 8.5mm super conductor wires

Right now my Z is completely stock, what type of gains should I see in HP and Torque???

And are there any concerns I need to consider before I do this??

Please tell me your opinions and experiences and results.


Thanks Guys and Ladies.

TRZ,
the biggest gains would come from the vortex. The rest may be helpful but don't count on too much power gain except from the Vortex system.
On My 01 I have put all sorts of stuff on it (some from West Coast)
I have added:
The complete HallTech system
A HallTech ported and Polished Throttle body
Throttle body bypass
A Vinci Fan Controller
160 degree thermostat
B&M Ripper Shifter
A Yellow Momo Shift ****
Various decals from CAU
Lowering bolts (lowered the front and back, I cut the bushings up front)
Silver Screens in the gills (z06 style)

:cheers:
