What does the "throbbing Brain" of C5 Owners suggest for my next performance upgrade? Looking for RWHP! Here's what I've Got.
2001 Coupe
Corsa Tiger Shark including ypipe
Hurst Shifter
Blackwing Intake
Goofy Plastic thing from Midamerica into throttle body(this really doesn't do a thing does it?)
I cut out screen also on my MAF

What's your take on Headers? Brand?
Packaged Tuners?
Lingenfelter?

Cold Air Intake, then Headers, then gears. Unless your going with a head/cam package. Then decide on that before the gears. Lingenfelter is one of the top names in the bussiness but expensive also. Good luck and have fun.

thank you I forgot to mention I've got a blackhawk up front

What gears would you run, and would you be comfortable allowing a chevy dealer to do the work?

Headers, Heads and Cam, You won't find a better deal than these guys and they guarantee quality work. I drive 9 hours every time to their shop to have my work done. go to www.texas-speed.com or call
806-666-0734 and talk to Jon or Jason. You won't be sorry did. Good Luck which ever route you go.

Gears? 3;90's. Dealership? Not really, unless there known to do alot of Corvettes. In Palm Beach we have a lot of Corvettes so the dealership has a Corvette specialist on hand. Or so he says anyway. I would probably let them do it. But not the dealership closer to my house. It all depends on how much you trust them. Ask them how many Corvettes they work on.
