Hey Jeremy,
I haven't installed the nitrous kit I bought from you yet, but as soon as I get a free weekend it'll be on.
I'd say go with a h/c package, but they're only downside is the cost. They'll also add more power than what you're looking for, and they'll shorten the life of you clutch.

i HAVE ALL YOUR MODS THEN ADDED THE TPIS LONG TUBE HEADERS WHICH MADE A NICE DIFFERENCE AND SAVED ABOUT 25LBS OF WEIGHT. I HAVE A ZO6 INTAKE ON ORDER AND IT WILL BE INSTALLED THIS WEEK. I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW I MADE OUT!

Hey Jeremy! Go grab the T1 Cam from MTI - I think they are doing a group purchase on it right now ..
But it yields about 20-40HP on the M6s :eek: 20 HP if no Headers or LS6 Intake...

Alright, well, it looks like heads/cam is my only way out.. Now, how can I hide this from my wife?? :D
RajunCajun - Lemme know how everything works out. Miss the kit!! ;)
Bparker - Yeah, I think just the cam would be more practical.. I have a local installer that will do the job for $300.. Hows the vette?? :cheers:

Hey Jeremy,
That was a good run on Friday night man, and very fun! :D
I would go with the T1 cam or headers or both.........and maybe even an underdrive pulley if you can get one! I am probably about to do the Head/Cam package in the very near future.......
When you get a chance, do you think you could show me what all is involved in lowering the car?..........I saw your car again today and I love the way it sits :cool:
Take care

CMiVette - Whats happenin man? That was fun! Man, you have a freekin strong C5! Kinda wish I still had the squeeze. :D Trying to go all motor now though. You pulled about like I suspected by your sig. ;)
MTI might hear from me soon! But yeah, I think headers and a couple more mods would work best for now. Waiting for Hooker to release some full tube headers. Tax return next year will be my next BIG mod time.
Yeah man, no problem! Lowering isn't really that hard.. Just time consuming. We can drop it as far as you want. :seeya
