Performance Thoughts for LS2
Have an '07 C6, 6-spd coupe:
Vararam Snakecharmer
Borla Catback Stinger exhaust system.
Lowered with Sypder wheels...
Looking for a little more power/performance, and dont know where to go next?
Everyday driver so needs to be somewhat practical...
Thoughts, please?

I would look into getting a set of Longtube Headers and a tune. Should give you about 25-30 rwhp.

Outside of it being a DD, how do you drive the car? Drag, Road Race, Street Only?
How much power are you looking for?
Whats your Budget?

I have an '07 and I replaced the exhaust system with a ZO6 exhaust from the headers to the mufflers, ported the intake and added a Vette Air. Benchmark was 340 RWHP after 370 RWHP. This is a cheap way to get some more power.

Do what your budget allows.
I went with the below mods, did all the work myself minus the tune. Outside of some money for the parts and tune, it cost me some time. I got the satisfaction of doing the job myself and enjoyed it.
