Questions from a Newbie
Hi everyone. I got a 2005 auto transmission corvette a few weeks ago. The first thing I did was change out the exhaust to a B&B Bullet axleback. Now I am thinking of improving my 0-60 time. I am not a track guy. Just the casual run-in with someone at a stop. So improving my 0-60 is more of a priority than the quarter mile time/speed.
What else can I do to it in order to improve my 0-60? I know being in California my options are limited.
Also, I have a 2 year powertrain warranty- will doing anything to the car void it? I am thinking of putting in a Callaway Honker CAI next. Then maybe a dyno tune? Does anyone know of a good tuner around the sacramento area? How much of a difference will I see on an auto?
Any help I can get here is much much appreciated! Thank you. Happy Riding!

The tune will kill your Warranty.
Your best bet for lower 0-60 times legally would be sticky rear tires.

Unfortunately I will not be any help with your question due to the CARB factor.
However, since you are a self-proclaimed noob, I will offer a forum suggestion. Put your question in the thread title so people with knowledge will see it.
Good luck!

All I can add, is your service manual on the web:

The only CARB approved air filter is the K&N and it's only for the 2005. You got lucky there if your must have one. A tune will make you fail a smog check and void your warranty. Their are no headers legal anywhere in the US. Some blowers are CARB approved so I've been told.
