Default performance plan - revised

Andy at AA Corvette will be installer and developed the following plan to meet goals of max HP and TQ without hurting stock engine and keep Calif smog legal: Vortech SCV2SQ(6.5 boost), Blackwing intake, High cap fuel pump, Bassani 421 headers with custom x pipe and new high flow CATS, low temp thermo, dual guages on pillar, defeat CAGS, special dyno tuning. Haven't decided on Aft-Cat yet but understand won't require retune when installed later. Any more input? Can I get 500 HP to rear wheels? Where can I get custom side decals to replace stock "Z06 405 HP" Thanks.

They say the titanium system is plenty good enough. I have read that in several posts. Most are changing them out to get more in tune with what is running around on the street. Only thing I would get different would be a Vararam and injectors for that new pump. When did Andy get his Dyno? Thought he would have E-mailed when he finally got it. Best of luck.

Andy said was picking up Dyno this week. Plan is to have tuned by Morgan. The Vortech kit includes special high flow injectors designed for Z06. What is a Vararam? I like the sound of it. You can tell I am new at this.

I went on internet and read about Vararam. It looks great and will discuss with Andy. I was in his shop today and he was on his way to pick up Forklift to get Dyno. Let me know if I misunderstood your input regarding injectors. thanks

No, I here ya. Can't wait tell he gets everything dialed in on the new dyno. Sure he will be running a couple of specials too, I hope. Check this out on the Vararam. Exit-28 is a supporting vender who has the Vararam for a good deal too. Mention me and just maybe we both will get an even better deal.
