First off dont waste money with ZO6 manifolds. Second remember you only want to do mods once so go the whole 9 yards the first time.

Air intake first

Vararam
Callaway Honker
Halltech Stinger

Headers next

LG
AR
Kooks

Heads and Cam

AFR
ETP
Comp

SC or Turbo

APS
STI
ATI
ECS

Intake Manifold

FAST 90
Typhoon (New)

2001 up LS1 or LS6 manifolds and "H" pipe will get you an extra 5-6HP. However there may be better ways to get HP for the money. Cam, intake, and air induction mods have the biggest bang for the buck.

Kamil D.,

Do what me and hundreds of other have done! Be patient! Spend a lot of time learning about our cars on this forum and others. The wealth of info available here is incredible! I have had my C5 for two plus years but have only been a CF member for a little less than a year! I have learned so much on this site I can't believe it!


The guysngals here will help you out in ways you haven't even thought of yet! Do your homework,,,,,search the CF for answers to your questions,,,,and if you can't find the answer,,,ask these people! Sometimes you might have to put on your flame suit,,,,but usually these people, who also love the Corvette, will bend over backwards to help!

I know, they have taught me enough to be dangerous and helped me spend a lot of wise money on my car and kept me from spending a lot of stupid money as well!
