Help Wanted (I'm New)
I just bought a 98 Mag Red 6 Speed. I'm stationed in S Korea and haven't even sat in it yet. 10 days and counting till I come home. I still can't believe I got a vette. Anyways, I was wondering what I would need to do to get the car up to 400RWHP. I don't want to go nuts. I would prefer to do it all with bolt ons. I've been looking at exhaust and intake and a lot more but being new to this I would love to get your experienced opinions on this. Thanks in adavance

400 Rwhp
You'll need to add a good set of heads, cam (like the TR224), long tubes, cat back exhaust, LS6 intake, underdrive pulley and a good tune.
That should get you there. I'll be doing the same thing over the winter along with a 4:10 rear.

CARMINE RED in '98(last year), cam/headers bottom line; the rest will help, but only give 5-8rwhp here and there.....or cam/ls6 heads will get you real close
