Corvette C5
Going to upgrade a Corvette '98 C5 with all new front end inflow parts - FAST 102mm intake, as well as new headers and catback system. Do you think these additions will put too much stress on the motor or cause problems with the computer chip and air/fuel mixture? Would I be better off with a mail order tune, or can a handheld computer tune work just as well? Will such a setup cause overheating or trouble, or hurt the drivability of the car?
