Powerloader II
First, I would like to say hello to everyone on the forum, I am new to the forum and corvettes for that matter. This is my first corvette and I love it! All your tips and reviews have been very helpful in my modifications, but i do have one question ?
Is it worth it to to purchase the powerloader II for a M6 2001 ? I heard it does wonders for the A4 but is there ant RWHP gains for the M6 ? Or am I better off with a different mod instead the power loader ?

Spend your money on other mods if you have an M6. I have an A4 and the Powerloader did help the performance of my car, mainly by firming up the shifting of my trans. and raising the shift points. Of course since you have an M6 you do not need these kind of modifications.

Re: Powerloader II (Mitch C)
Most of our M6 customers have been happy with the results of the Powerloader on their car. The Powerloader still optimizes your Air Fuel Mixture and Timing curves to give a nice increase in lower end torque and a 7-9rwhp peak gain. It also rids your car of the CAGS including the light on the dash, turns on your fans earlier and slightly increases your rev limiter.
Our one M6 customer picked up a consitant mph at the track and said he noticed a definite difference in the lower end power the second he started releasing the clutch for the first time after being loaded.
I will say, if you are expecting a plug-and-play supercharger for a bit over $400, this mod is not for you.l

Re: Powerloader II (Buckmaster)
Just as an FYI, we are currently running a Group Purchase on Powerloaders with some excellent pricing.

Re: Powerloader II (Gandalf)
If you have the patience and can afford to spend that kind of money for a CAGS eliminator instead of the normal $15 jump on it. That's about the difference you will notice.
