Okay I finnaly saved up a enough money for the West Coast Corvette stage IV package. http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/ps-...ower-gain.aspx

They will do the install too. My question is what can be done to my A4 4L60E tranny so it won't snap in half when I get a little frisky?

 

You need to see Rodney @RPM Transmission
505 West Main Street Sulphur Springs, IN 47388
765-524-5341

You won't break it

 

Just a heads up, but I would NOT drop almost $7000 for what is basically a head/cam package with some minor intake and exhaust components! First off, you are wasting your time and money by installing shorty headers on a C5. Even more so if it has high-flowing heads and an aftermarket cam. Long tubes are the ONLY way to fly in this instance. I see they are keeping your stock cats with this setup and that's ridiculous with a heads/cam car. Your leaving 10 to 15 rwhp on the table right there.

On to the induction side. A Hurricane intake is OK, but nothing special. If you ask 30 guys here you will get 30 different opinions ranging from Honker to Vararam to K&N. What you really don't need are the Mass Airflow Meter and bigger t-body. Why bother if you're gonna keep the stock intake? Upgrade to the LS6 intake and on a heads/cam car you can see true 10 to 12 rwhp gains.

The exhaust after the cats is a problem too. The no-name "Twin Flow" catback is another waste. Pick up a good set of Ti's and be done with it. They have nice polished tips, sound great, pick up a couple of ponies on a C5 and can be had for $500 or less shipped to your door. Since you'll be going long tubes and they come as a set you won't need the weld-in x-pipe supplied in this package.

Do the math....

Heads...................$1500 to $1800
Cam Kit.................$800
LS6 Intake.............$400
ZO6 Ti's.................$500
LG Street lt's..........$995
CAI.......................$350
Underdrive Pulley.....$250
Plugs/Wires............$100

Now that's gonna run you $4895 for all the parts listed above. Factor in another $100 to $200 for miscellaneous gaskets, bolts, small parts, connectors, etc. and another $450 for professional dyno tune. Now you're at a grand total of $5445. That's $1200 less than their Stage IV package with more horsepower to the wheels and enough money left over for you to beef up your tranny at RPM. Think about it....

 

He is in the RepubliK of Kalifornia. Long Tubes wont pass the CARB inspection

SHorties are a waist too. The whole ZO6 exhaust is an option.

 

Yeah I am in Cali so I cant go too extreme due to regulations. West Coast says this package passes smog.

 

Why not just go supercharged? you can even find used units in great condition and still have money for other mods like tranny and intake.

 

What about STS?

Have you heard the turbos spool ... insane.

 

WCC has a pretty catalog, but their prices are very high. You can do much better. They might be even more than Ligenfelter or Callaway.
