Hope for some good numbers with the C6

BlWasp - 407 rwhp is still VERY respectable
Is there more to be had though?? I guess once you talk to John, you will see , right??
BTW - how did the rest of your Sat. go w/ the modifications??
Enjoy!

I think i'm making max power with john's tune. I've been told he likes to tune on the rich side. Not sure if another tuner can make more power. I guess 407rwhp is enough for now. I made 13more rwhp with the new exhaust.
The @#$@#@!#$%! didn't show again. Then another contractor called me today asking if he could come by at 3:30pm. He said he would leave a quote under the front door mat. Of course he didn't show. What in the $@#$!@#$ @#$@#$ @#$@#$ is up with these people? Do they all have so much damn work that they come and go as they please. What a pain in the @#$@#$@#$@#$
We are thinking about renting a bobcat and doing the work ourself. Buying bag concrete in bulk and building the driveway over a few weeks. if we ordered it wet then we would need a pumper truck. I don't have enough hands to handle 50 yards of pumped in concrete in one day. pumper truck is $600 a day.
