Default Here is what I decided about future Mods

Thanks for all your input on my last thread. Here is what I decided:
Being that I will be driving my 00' C5 for another 2 years, and I want a little more than stock, I'm just going to go with x-pipe, Corsa Touring Tiger Shark, and LS1 Edit.
This way I won't be spending too much on a long tube headers, high flow cats, X-pipe, mufflers, underdrive pulley, and LS1 Edit and can save the extra cash toward the 08'/09' C6 ZO6.

Sounds good except instead of that LS1 edit, I'd be looking for someone to program your PCM. Better use of the bucks. Let someone who knows what they're doing handle that.

What do you mean, a Dyno Tune? I will ofcourse have Vette Doctors do all of the work so I guess ask them if Dyno Tune instead of LS1 Edit?

LS1 Edit is a software program for tuning. Just ask VD to tune your car, and they will take care of what program they use

You know you can mod your current car and make it a lot faster than your future C6 Z?

Good luck, both with the current car and in getting that C6 Z06.

Yes, I considered this. But, the look of the C6 ZO6 changes my mind every time. Why is the grass always greener on the other side?
