if you are talking after 2001 then I think all 3 would be about the same if headers and exhaust are also done. I have seen other ECS customers wtih my setup and we are all within a few HP of each other.
the benefit that a Z06 has is that they can still produce a good amount of rwhp without doing the heads while it seems that the C5s need to change the heads.
