Tune, Headers, Cats, Intake..what next

I have ordered KOOKS header/cats and Vararam intake and getting installed next week with tune. Is there anything else that I should do that is simple and fairly inexpensive before the tune. TB? any recommendations so I don't kick myself before tune. I have the upgraded exchaust already and the Z51 package. (09 C6)

Thanks

Ported TB is inexpensive.

I just did the same mods, just curious what kind of rwhp did you get on the dyno. Mine came in at 367 seems very low but the car goes like stink now.

367 sounds low... but dyno numbers vary so much depending on temp, type on dyno etc... I will post my numbers after mods hopefully by the end of next week. Also if you did not get pre-mod numbers you will not know what you gained.......I was hoping to get to 400rwhp. But some people I have talked to stated that you really see more gains in tq not hp.

Cam?

I think Ported Intake Manifold and TB are good ideas.

I would suggest a ported TB and intake manifold. Please check out fasterproms.net and also check us out on myspace.com
We are the original and have been porting these manifold for over 3.5 years.
