Finally - Oops!
Ooops!

making 490 RWHP/452 RWTQ.
I AM ridiculously HAPPY!
(Sorry, my keyboard has keys that stick and if I type too fast I miss my mistakes.)

I edited it, so you might not have seen the original goof.

I am happy with these numbers, too, and especially with how my vette feels. I know the numbers could be even higher, but then so is the probability of having problems.
You have a nice looking ride.

V-2 SQ
Was 8, now more like 10
Want more HP . . . call Andy! He is on vacation until after 1/2/08.
He told me he could have easily got the number over 500, but wouldn't and I trust his judgement.

I'm also only running 8psi so I don't feel so bad. Nothing an intake manifold and Ported TB couldn't fix.

Yup, I too do not want mods at the expense of having problems.
Besides, I don't have the desire to be the biggest & badest . . .
just big and bad a$$ is fine by me.

One more thing - Andy said I had the wrong spark plugs in there, so he put in the correct ones. He said that prevented the first tuner from getting more gain.

I've seen quite a few vettes lately,too. I am real big on waving, so I will be on the lookout for you, too! 
If you are thinking of adding these mods, Andy is the absolute best and worth the drive. Traffic conditions aren't bad when driving up for dropoff and pickup on a Saturday. Tell him you heard about the great results he got on my vette and that you are looking for the same kind of gain. With your C6 your numbers will really be insane.
Best part is, Andy kept it so my vette is still a sound operating machine and not one that will now be problematic. I've been to a few other shops here in SD and NOBODY did/could do what Andy did for me.
