Default Stupid question???
Have a 2003 bone stock 2003 Zo6 - bought LG super pro headers with off road x-pipe and B&B Bullets planned on putting them on and a good tune. My question is am I in danger of messing the engine up or is this a good combo???? I am doing it more for the sound but dont want to mess anything up . Thanks!

I will be through Mobile on the 8th. If youre not busy when I come through, Ill load you a tune for V-ram and long tubes. Probably wont get every bit of HP out of it, but should get it close.

EDIT: Sorry... Thursday the 8th, not the 13th. Had my days mixed up...

very cool, CSM. Im hoping to retire. rolling out this month to be a recruiter. 3 years of no deployments will be nice... Ive seen enough sun and sand to last me. im also very tired of getting shot at/blown up...not as cool as it was when i were younger.
