For $110 less, I like my solution a lot better. haha. It's not like anyone can see past the intake manifold anyway.

I recommend finding another stock C5 ZO6 , driving it and then explain what you feel.


Why are you so adverse about tuning? Sure its a chunk of change but, I know someone that can take ALL that throttle lag out of the picture!!! The new tune will put a smile on your face.

Thank you Billy.... Silly wires attached to your gas pedal is DANGEROUS and a stupid waste of money.

A proper tune with the throttle properly modified is worth it's weight in gold and 1,000,000% PROVEN SAFE.

Worried about spending a few $100 bills on your vette is like driving a Honda Civic with GOLD PLATED license plate frames.

WTF!!?!

well there were no codes so I moved on. Found the coupler that connects from the air bridge to the throttle body all messed up! Thanks everybody for the help! I have to find a new coupler..wont seal.

Lol, why would anyone ever do that? Bet that was letting a decent amount of unmetered air in.
