I just put the NOS 5177 kit on a c6 auto last week. The kit works the same way it did on the ls1. The car stock with 75 shot went 12.02 @ over 119mph.

how much should i put 75 shot?

i had a 75 & really didn't even feel it, i heard its not 75RWHP its like 50 RWHP.

how much can i buy a 5177 kit with all the goodies for? & how much is install?

would i have to get that MSD Thing for when i shift?


That 05 C6 that ran 12.02 was that on Stock Tires? Z51 ? 6SPD?

The kit itself was $556 and the bottle heater $110, colder plugs $20 and I did the install myself. It is a very easy kit to install. The 12.02 run was on the factory tires and it was a z51 equiped auto.

NOS is working on a kit for the C6. Just talked to tech support and it'll be available soon. I'd wait.
