Default Stinger/Venom vs Honker?

On a near stock Z, after getting tuned, will one make substantially more power than another? I was set on a Honker, but it seems to be a long wait to receive it

I love my Honker!!! High-quality product! I believe that in dyno tests that I've seen, the Honker usually shows the biggest gains. Typically, the higher horsepower your car is, the more of a difference it will make. Not sure on a completely stock Z06 that there would be a huge difference between any of them?

I heard that the Honker is really good and "worth the wait" for months. If both were available I would have bought the Honker. But after anylizing it I figured I would purchase the Venom and maybe give up just a couple of ponies. I am very happy with the Venom. The Z06 get plenty of fresh air through it's screens. I also like the red bridge.

I just ordered it too

After finding out nobody had any Honkers in stock and weren't expecting any new ones for quite some time, figuring I can loose 2-3 peak hp
