2007 c6 M6 base next modification advice
I'm looking on advice as to what modification to add next. My interest right now is possibly nitrous, nothing serious as I dont wanr to risk hurting the car (100 shot?). I know very little about nitrous or what kits would work for me and the more information I can gather the better! The car is a 2007 M6 base worn 33k miles and runs beautifully.

With the larger MAF opening and stock throttle body and stock intake manifold, you're robbing yourself for power. Sure your MAF is letting more air through but it is just getting backed up at the throttle body and especially the LS2 intake manifold. I would look into those two items well before looking at a NO2 kit.

If you plan on going forced induction one day, I would go ahead and spring for the 102, it will be a waste to port the OEM manifold only to have to replace it again.
If you plan to stay N/A then a ported intake manifold will get your a large chunk of the Fast 102 benefits at a much lower cost. I found this site linked here before, they seem to do some interesting work; http://www.peakspeedshop.com/porting.xhtml

I don't have the graph in front of me, but mid-range is where it really shined. Car drives exactly like stock, but feels like a totally different animal and pulls extremely hard all the way through the rpm range.
