Using my time here in Iraq to make mod decisions. Poor Sadam, no mods for him!!! Anyway, because the Army is so big on spreadsheets and sync matrix etc I decided to do one of my own in regarding mods to the new Spiral Gray 2004 C5 I now own but have never driven. Anyway, I be back in April (God willing) and looking fwd to tearing (make that sharing) the roads with all of my fellow Vet owners. I took all of your opinions and crunched numbers. I want a VET with just over 400+ HP. I want bolt on items only!! I want the best bang for the buck. After all was said and done this will be my setup:
Exhaust: GHL 3.5
X Pipe: Magnaflow
Headers: Kooks or LGH whichever has the lowest price at the time I buy
Intake: Vortex Ram Air
Gears: 4.10

I have calculated that this will cost under 4000.00 How much will depend on how hard I will beat up tuners for best prices !!! After beating up tuners I will then start beating up imports on the track!!!

Thanks for all of the great support you have given soldiers on this forum. We so much appreciate it. I am proud to defend this country I love so much!!!

:flag I appreciate your dedication fighting for our freedom and those in Iraq.
Too much time to think about mods gets costly...Trust me I know :D

 

Hey, spread sheets huh? :lol: Don't forget to add the price of a dyno and computer tune. While I was in Baghdad I sure though about mods :lol:

 

Your choices look good and should perform well for you. Remember, when you get back and get these things on that beautiful car, you have to come back and let us know how it works/how you like it!! Thank you for representing all of us over there; we appreciate your efforts. :smash: :flag :thumbs:

 

You should have a low 12 second car after install. If you are looking for 400 rwhp you will have to get a nice H/C package. Tuning will have to be added to the list =$500+ more. Goodluck and God Bless. :blueangel: :seeya :flag :flag :flag

 

Keep up the good work , just go for heads and cam , you deserve it . :flag :flag :cheers:
