HP increase for an FRC

What is the best bang for the buck to get an FRC up to speed with a ZO6?

A good CAI, American Racing Headers, and a good dyno tune by a reputable shop.

I would agree with Gary, but also might add a Z06 intake, remove the screen from the MAF and then Tune...

BTW, what part of Carolina are you from?

i added ported TB, ls6 maf, lg street lt's, x-pipe, ti catback, vortex intake and air bridge + tune got me 338 rwhp on mustang dyno, best run so far is around 12.2x @ 114 mph. I am adding an ls6 intake, tex clutch and hoping for 11's it is really hard to keep up an 02+ zo6 with a good driver even stock! but very fun trying

I agree! Throw on an LS6 intake as well while you're at it.

LS6 intake, LT headers and a Vararam are the most basic. A cam will be needed to truly even the field.

HP increase for an FRC

Corvette, best bang for your buck supercar. Chirp08, on 12/19/2007, .... I know that's good for better aerodynamics (higher top speed too, ... the FRC's main advantage was the weight savings, which is why the C5 z06. Even if it did get terrible mpg, it would more than make up for it by gpg - Girls Per Gallon.
