And to dress up the engine:

This is the day I picked her up from the dealer..don't have any current pics as she was whisked away to Vengeance..he he he

Ooooh. I like your setup. Welcome! I've been here practically from when the site first opened. I've changed cars a few times over the years.

I am eyeing a supercharger for my C6. We'll see. I thought of a twin turbo, but I'm hesitant about doing that much cutting and cramming.

Thank you for the warm welcome!
My last Vette had a D1-SC Procharger.. time for a change. Changing the oil on the supercharger was a pain and got tired of the belt whine and slippage. If they had a Kenn Belle out then for the C6, I think I would have gone with one of those instead of the D1-SC, but that is the beauty of Vettes and mods.. you can customize them anyway you like! There are several types of TT setups out there.. just gotta find one that fits you.. me I decided to just do an entire engine set up, but you can put an APS or STS kit on a stock engine with little to no modifications. In the end it is all about how much HP you want and what fits your needs!

Thanks for the info. I am actually thinking about the A&A Vortech kit from LG Motorsports, but that's probably a longer term goal. I will most likely start with heads, intake, exhaust and a mild cam first (with a wide-body rear conversion and better wheels/tires). I'll see how that holds up. With the A6, I'm leary about too much power destroying the stock tranny. You clearly have a much bigger mod budget than I do.

The set up you are talking about for now is a nice one!! You can never go wrong with heads/cam, etc! I love those setups! He He He...cam and exhaust for my boyfriend's truck are in the near future..he just doesn't know it yet! The Vortech kit is very similar to the procharger setup.

I have an A6 in my car. Stock tranny can hold about 500-600 HP. However, and here is the beauty.. RPM just came out a few weeks ago with a built A6. That is the transmission pic that was posted yesterday by Ron in the build thread! Not sure how much HP it holds yet..but with better internals it is sure to hold more HP. Time will tell. Can't wait!
As far as budget..I figure you only live once and might as well have some fun! I have wanted a Corvette ever since I received my pink Barbie Vette for Christmas when I was 4 yrs old! Once I got the real thing, I could not help myself..it is like a sickness..the voice in my head kept saying..must mod the Vette!
