Default If I............

install an A&A supercharger. And I use stock headers, 3inch mid pipe, eliminate the second set of cats and keep the stock NPP mufflers. Do I need to do anything else? I have a stock ported intake and TB.
Keep in mind I am not nor do I feel the need for Max power. 500 RWHP is plenty for me. I want it to last.
Opinions please.

Your question of "do you NEED to do anything else?" - Yes, you need to have the computer tuned by a tuner that is experience with C7's specifically. Then you should be good.

You will need rear tires shortly after install and something to wipe the silly grin off your face.

A good tune is very important. If 500 is all you're looking for that won't be an issue but if you want it to last a good tune is important.

You can run a s/c kit on stock headers, but no matter what you need a tune. I'd ask your tuner ahead of time whether you will need more fuel. You may be fine on fueling with stock headers.

Call Andy or Josh at A&A, and ask them. They'll tell you exactly what you need, for the power you want.

You'll love it, and never look back!
