Seriously. Auto? Manual? Who the **** cares? It's all about purpose and preference. I'm tired of arguing this crap. It's like arguing religion. While some people can be swayed one way or another, others like where they're at and there's no reason to fix what ain't broken.

Good comeback. definitely void warranty though.

There is this special gas that adds about 100hp.If your motor blows just take it off before getting warranty work done.

501 rwhp cam package on my LS3...
https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...ics-video.html

If I had your '09 auto vette, I'd do a set of long tubes/stall converter/drag radials/ and 3.42 gears. That setup could ruin the day of a ZO6 vette owner.

Most factory ZO6's only dyno around 460rwhp.

Maybe not much help but I just installed an A&A vortech kit on a 10 A6 Grand Sport with 700 miles on it. Completely bone stock. with a VERY conservative tune made 524 rwhp. The older owner was extremely happy. with this one mod.

Dual mode is good. Especially if it's in vacuum control mode. It allows the right amount of back pressure at low RPM and opens up to yield more horsepower above 3,000 RPM.

Everything will void the warranty. If you want something cheap and easily removable then get a dry nitrous kit. Let the MAF do it's thang.
