Default First C6 mods

Just picked up the car from the Vette Doctors, Kooks headers installed along with Corsa Sport complete exhaust system. The sound is awesome! Carmen also tweaked the computer. Here are the numbers:
Before the mods: Max Power=342.2 Max Torque=350.8

After the Mods Max Power=378.3 Max Torque=372.2

Can't wait until March 19th to get out to Raceway Park to see what it does on the quarter. The car has also been set up with a line-loc and Pro-Shift lite. All I need to do now is throw on the drag radials and let her rip.

Congrats, that's great. I plan on going with the same exhaust setup next month. Did you use a x pipe in your system.?

Yes the X pipe has also been installed. Let me add that today I took the car out washed it put another coat of Zainos, then took my baby out for some wot acceleration. I was really blown away! the car sounds really awesome and the burst is fantastic.
