I too am a "weekend worrier". I worry about my column locking up, my gas shuting off, my intake getting hydralock, and my A/C Delco battery leaking!

It also depends on how you intend to drive the Vette. Maggies work great with autos due to the low end torque produced.

You want to also talk to Jason at Gulf Coast Performace before you make a decision.

There are lots of people in the Houston area that have had mods done in the area. Be sure that you know what you want to have long term before you start modding.
