hi !


Need help for engine mod on my ''First'' Corvette, 2005 C6 6 speed 35 000milles.

What is the best cam, headers, if i don't change the head. need a good plug-in tunner to, i don't have a rolling dyno near 600 milles form here.

So any help for choosing the right parts ... will be pretty awesome.




thanks.

i'd say get in touch with Chuck at CoW for tunning info
get a complete package deal, well worth it

cam... you'll want to change valve springs to make it worth it
or a head swap

headers... i'm partial to LG streets
mufflers... i'm partial to Borla
air intake... i'm partial to SLP (SUPER easy to install and looks good)
but everyone has their opinions

i did use the SLP caned tunes, and yes it improved the car some, but Chuck's tune really did a nice number

also may want to look at a ported intake and throttle body
but all depends on your desires, wants, needs, and of course $$$$$$$$$

if you ask me, if you can afford it, i'd say the e-force supercharger for a nice street car

if limited on $$, i'd go headers and a good tune along with an air intake like V-RAM. i didn't go V-ram last year because i wanted something super easy to install, and the fact i have the super charger in mind (just no funds at the moment)

Bonjour Luc,

Pardon-moi pour mon francais, ca fait longtemps depuis j'ai la utiliser.

Quand il a parle de le "canned tune" il parle d'une calibration qui a fait pour l'utilisation dans beaucoup des vehicules, donc, il est une calibration plus conservatif. C'est le type de claibration qui vienne avec les "plug in tuners."

L'autre option est une calibration qui est faire specifiquement pour ta voiture.

En anglaise quand on disent "canned," ca veut dire quelque chose qui est deja fait, ou est pour une application generale.

For everyone else, I was simply explaining the meaning of the word canned, as in a canned tune
