Looks Good! I'm coming through all your mods! I need a towel to wipe away the slobber! Tell me about your Superchip! I think I am going to go with them! The others seemm to confusing and I don't have any knowledgable tuners within a 100 mile radius! Only mod I have done is the Varamm 2B! Is the superchip pretty good?

...In fact I have 2 programmers...one I got for tuning after I installed the Magna Charger...
...and the other, I is an extra programmer I dont need...
...What year is your vette? and is it MN6 or auto?
With your mods it would be a great complement
...maybe I can help you out...

I have a 98 (A4) with 32,000 miles on it! Like I said the only mod I have is the Varaam 2B. Not installed yet but soon! I just plan on doing the intake, Superchip, possibly headers if I can figure out what the hell I'm supposed to purchase and Borla Stingers. Maybe a TQ converter, but I am afraid of letting people mess around with my Transmission! Not quite sure on gears becuase I don;t know how they work or what I'm gaining and what I'm going to lose by switching! I still scouring the board for info, but still have a hard time trying to understand the gear ratio thingy!

I originally was looking at an 04 MS Z, but then I saw a 03 QS. Bought the QS, it's a little darker and has much more metalliac in the paint.
Hope this helps
I think it looks good out of the box, not much room for improvement.

. Trust me, you won't be disappointed in anything other than the fact it took you so long to buy one. WOW! I say that everytime I drive it. 
But sadly, winter is close at hand and she'll be sleeping soon. 
The time has come to mod again while she's asleep.

Also, I'm not sure I getting good info from my C5 Source! The place I bought my C5 from is supposed to be a guru on corvettes! The only thing he sells on his lot is Stingrays and C5's but he does no internal engine work! So I ask him about getting a Supercharger, and he told me that if I put a SC on the Charlie Five, I would be buying a brand new 3,000 block in 3 months becuase it can't handle that power! Now I'm confused becuase it seems alot of people have superchargers and seem to be doing just fine! Even the magna charger suggested a stock setup! So who right and who's wrong!
Please clarify!

Thanks for the tip! As far as AFR@11.2 are you talking about Heads and CAM!
