Since a blower would not be worth it without a better exhaust, I'd go with the exhaust.

Blower doesn't care. 150+rwhp on a stock engine.

So that's my choice. Otherwise it would be lowering on stock bolts.

Remove all the non essential stuff like A/C, power windows, power door locks, and power seats. Just an old school sports car guy here.

Why not get rid of the fuel injection too, maybe the side windows and ditch the outside door handles? Never shift the transmission into overdrive. Disable the ABS brakes. Old school.

I was being facetious in regards to gutting a C5 of A/C, power locks and seats in the name of being old school.

I can assure you Josh nothing "blew past me". But thank you for spending an inordinate amount of effort to prove your simplistic thoughts.

Gets Great Gas Mileage (1100 RPM @ 60MPH)
Top End Out the Yeng Yang, Top End Just Really Does Me No Good (Don't Race It)

Not many would. I just wanted to see what people's choice would be if that was the case. Just for play
