Default New mods are on!

Z06 sway bars, Stainless Works L/T headers, Random tech cats and x-pipe, LS1 edit, 160 t/stat... once again I'm a happy 21st Cent MC customer. They did great work on my C4 as well. Many thanks to John Page, Andy (tuner extrordinare) Patrick and Jon!

Gains of 35 rwhp and 45 rwtq

I drove home in 5 pm traffic so it was difficult to stretch her legs, but she sounds great, corners well, and obviously has more power. Can't wait 'til the weekend!

silver6speed, I have the base C5 suspension. The new swaybars markedly decrease body roll in cornerig without sacraficng the smooth comfortable ride provided by the stock shocks.

I missed the "cornering-on-rails" feeling of me old Z07 C4. This mod gives me the best of both worlds, and I am a cornering fool again!

The power gains are best possible hoped for with the other mods. I am very, very pleased.

I do need to get more cold air under the hood, and will soon get the Z06 screens and air inlets to solve that problem.
