Interesting. I heard that if you do not get a tune the car will "surge" at low speeds and you might get lean codes because of an unexpected amount of air from the CAI.
What dyno did you use? I heard from some friends that a Vararam intake, x-pipe, 1 3/4" headers with a good tune will give me around 390hp. Not a big difference but just curious if you used a different dyno.
This is whats scary...when people say "while you are at it" and its not like its not a great value to just do a few more mods but I'm just afraid of a slippery slope where it never stops and I keep buying and selling parts. LOL
Thanks for the info
This is what I'm thinking at this point.
I kind of went a different route with my 01 Z06...
Coilovers, 09 Z06 Spyders, limo tint, Euro (red/amber) tails. ( cosmetics). Then i installed a Halltech CAI, LGM Street Series Headers, LG Y pipe w cats, Corsa Indy Pace Cars, and a tune (Sean @ LGM).. Car makes 377/367 to the wheels.
The car is slammed and looks evil... run's good for me.. I will do a cam G5X?, UD pulley next year... Til then, lovin my Z06... These are GREAT cars!!

That's a good price. Do it. While you are at it, you may want to consider the following: High flow oil pump, UD pulley, Thicker tunnel plate... If it's done right you shouldn't have any reliability issues.
*If you go further, say with better heads and a FAST 90/90 you should be over 450 rwhp and you will need to upgrade your clutch as the stocker won't hold the added torque

If it were me.. I would prob stick with stock and just clean the living crap out of it. (Claybar, polish, ZAINO!) It's a amazing what a clean car with window tint and tire shine can look like.
I haven't heard anyone really bring up the catch can or tunnel plate modifications.. are they not as beneficial as people make them out to be?
