more power/performance from my 2004/ how??
I have a 2004 c5 corvette and Have done some simple mods so far. I have a k & n intake, mass airflow sensor and a Borla stinger exhaust. I have been told to get a hypertech programmer to make the most of these? should I? Also, would anyone out there recommend that warrior manifold? or the 90mm throttle body instead? Please let me know. Is there anything else I can do to get more power from my car without supercharging it? Any answers would be helpful. Thanks

I think the first thing you should do is fill in your signature and give us a full description of your car.
A 90 mm throttlebody is too big for a stock manifold.
I would consider some long tube headers and a tune from from a reputable tuner.

and depending on what kind of "more power" you are looking to get there is also heads cam ud pulley if automatic a stall converter and basically the list can go on forever depending on how deep your wallet is and how much power you are looking to get. altho i found out there is never enough power and always want more!!!!

I agree with the above unless you are somewhere that a visual inspection is done for the emissions test. The MAF really doesn't buy much on a stock car. Headers and a tune will wake it up. The other option would be gears.
