WHAT MODs are you interested in and what are your power goals????? People don't answer if they cant add a one line comment. I'm a little different and like to play.
Need to know what you want, BUDGET, and GOALS.
PACKAGE DEALS are NOT always the way to go but,,,, what are your skills and what resources do you have??
LOTS of questions......
Hope this helps.
I do all my own work and its difficult for me to recommend farming out performance improvements.
There are only a couple of shops that I feel comfortable recommending people go to only because I have had personal dealings with them. They are #1 Corvettes Of Westchester, ENGLANDGREEN Performance Houston TX, ECS NJ and Slowhawk Performance in RI.

I had ZERO LS engine skill but, an extreme mechanical background. Just read Lot's of reference material, did all my own repairs and went to lots of local MOD parties to get familiar with C5/C6. Its way different but NOT that much different. The TUNING part is what made it hard for me.. Any mods you do to a C5/6 effect tuning. Some more than others. STILL learning the tuning part.
Do ALL the mods you can afford at one time and then TUNE! Average tuning cost for a professional tune is $300-$450,,so its important to mod as much as you can and then tune.

TRUST ME! Call Stephen & Jason at ENGLANDGREEN and discuss your desired MODs and Goals.. You will be impressed. They have state of the art DYNO resources and I can personally attest to there performance enhancement abilities and tuning skills. Their personal friends and highly recommended for their abilities. On the sly,,, compare what they tell you and what the shop your thinking of using is telling you. Then make your decisions. I have not experienced ANY of ragin,racin products or accomplishments so take that into consideration. They may be the great and able to satisfy your desires.
