Advice on next mods please...
What's up!
I have a 2007 C6 (manual) with the following mods:
- Borla exhaust and X-pipe
- Hurricane Intake
- 170 degree thermo
- Skip Shift elimin
My goal is to get at least an additional 50 horsepower or so and keep it very driveable. Here's definitely what I want to add:
- Headers
- Ignition wires
- programmer/custom tune
What do you guys/gals think of:
- Gears
- Hi-flow Heads
- Performance Cam
Would those performance mods get me at least another 50 ponies? Would any of those affect the drivability negatively? I'm sure someone will recommend supercharging, but I don't want to go that route.
West Coast Corvette has a Stage 4 package that has everything above except for gears -- they're the ones who did my first round of mods. I'm open to any suggestions and recommendations.
Thanks.
Moe

I wouldn't waste any money on wires, you won't pick up any power what so ever.
The next step would be to go with a decent cam. The cam and headers will pick you up in excess of 50 rwhp.
Good luck.
