STS, APS, and TTI all make very good kits for the c6. Feel free to search any of those names for a plethora of info on them. Which one is best?? Well that's just going to start a pissing contest. I would say all have their ups and downs and it really depends on your goals for your car.

Lots of folks are sporting the TT's here. You might find more in the C6 Forced Induction forum, and the C5 Forced Induction is a great board to look at as well. Opinions vary on each of the kits, but there are great tuners on the forum that can help you make the right decision!

The key to engine reliability with any kind of forced induction is the tuning. You also need to limit the amount of boost that you try to run with the stock bottom end and compression ratio.

We have pretty much seen every sort of Turbo out in the market. With that said -- hands down -- we are an APS shop and dealer.
The kit fits together better than anything we have come across.
We just unveiled our new Signature Series Performance and Custom Corvette Line --only with APS TT. Fly wheel on a stock C6 -- 735 horsepower and 625 rear wheel horsepower. And by the way --this car sold in 6 days.
If you want to speak with our Tech -- we would be happy to answer any questions -- even if you are not a buyer at Corvettes of Dallas.
