OK I have intake and exhaust and my vette has been tuned (VCM Suite)

I normally run around with EVO8 and Built SRT's and STi just because I am younger and most young kids don't drive vettes..

anyway I usually pull from a roll with most of them but it is getting harder and harder..

The vette is getting a prochargeer this winter but I was wondering what I can do to it know to get a little extra..

I was thinking about new rear gears.. what do you think

I have a 01- MN6

If you are eventually going to do a ProCharger I would go ahead and add long-tube headers.

You have the 3.42 gears, those are just fine. I would agree that the next step is a set of long tube headers. After that heads/ cam package or a supercharger would be excellent choices. It all really depends on what you want to do with the car. Drag racing, autocross, spirited around town driving. These will all effect your choices.

How much does it cost to have gears installed in a C5, including labor, parts, etc.??

Thanks,

If you are going to add a super charger better start with some headers. Gears would be great if you staying NA but when you put the blower on I'm gonna bet you are gonna have a lot of traction problems so best to stay 3.42.
