Question Arrrgh, On the fence on the next Mod.

I have a C5 and can not decide between the following.

LS6 intake upgrade.
Two new rims and DR's for track use.
Complete set of new rubber, Goodyear F1GSD3's

I like the idea of DR's but the stock run flats have an issue with traction all the time, so new rubber for all around use would be nice for all driving conditions. The LS6 intake would be mute, due to the fact of the traction issue. What would you do?

depends on how often you go to the track bro. If the runflats are a serious bothersome issue then by all means get the new rubber, you will be very happy with the way the car drives and handles, they are great tires. The LS6 manifold is also a great 15hp upgrade over what youve got now. Guess you have to decide whats more important. If you can stand the runflats, id get the LS6 manifold. just my $.02
