Atkins Diet For Corvette...
I've got some questions. I have a fully loaded '01 LS1.
I'm removing the cast manifolds and replacing with FLP headers, and exchanging the four cats for two FLP high flows. I'm also going with a Z06 catback system.
Am I off by thinking I'll save 25 lbs from going from cast iron manifiolds to FLP headers, 5-10 lbs from the loss of the 2 extra cats, and 17 lbs from the stock to the Z06 system...?
I've also been told there is also 16-25 lbs locked in the Goodyear runcraps...

Weight is important and I will leave the Atkins to you.I would recommend the Borla Stinger EXH. System probably pick up 8-10 rrwhp 5.6 over a Bassani and 6 lbs.Tqe. RRwheel!!! and I believe the Stingers to be lighter and they sound like a V8 under the hood.As far as runflats dump em if you can afford to you will pick up HUGE increases in silence,Traction,unsprung weight handling improvement as well as a working side wall that increases cornering by 20%+ and when your driving a Goodyear or Pilot any great hi speed tire 160 mph will not have that wandering effect that R Flats give you
you can drive hi speeds and always have a confident feel of being stuck to the road.And the handling at 45 going around turns alone is worth it if you have the dough.
Call or mail Nate we have stingers for 499.00 no shipping and we have all major Tire brands and some times we can save you upwards of 150.00+ a set sometimes your better off at a tire shop but either way the advice is free and we can always tell you our price VS a Discount or Tire rack.
GO with the STINGERS and non R Flats great Idea youll be happy Man, Man!! Good Luck Dave
