After Market Performance Numbers
I have read that you can increase horse power rather easily on the vette by changing a couple of things - air intake and exhaust. Does anyone have any quantatative information on these products? Also other ways to boost horsepower would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

GM doesn't want the 05 C6's computer to be messed with. On the C5's, tuning of the computer could squeeze out additional HP & TQ, adapting it to installed modifications, adjusting air/fuel ratios, and depending on what modifications, could really boost the power. The C6 remains out of reach, for the time being, but I'm sure that in the near future the tuning wizards will break-thru somehow....we hope.
