You might find this power/torque comparison graph interesting viewing, From Corvette FI forum.

Thanks! I have always wanted a vette since I was little. I never thought I would ever be able to get one. Getting a vette was one of my goals in my life, besides eventually gettng married and having kids. So I am halfway there, maybe the vette will find me a hot woman. LOL

As of right now, it is all stock. I did order a car cover, skip shift eliminator, and a puck for the floor jack. Next year in spring a CAI, Shifter, and some nittos. I will have to see about a full exhaust or not, but definitely a cat back. Any ideas on waht is the best CAI and catback? I heard that the B & B cat back is pretty crazy!

Finally I can put this in my post

btw thanks for the graph on comparing the supercharger and turbos. Very interesting. What is the psi of the procharger and the turbo system?

Here's the link to the thread on Corvette forum. I'm not sure what boost the procharger was running though the guys at LAPD did the APS C6 twin turbo install and the boost pressure would be around 8 to 9 PSI, best guess only. The guys at LAPD could tell you the exact boost on the C6 twin turbo system.

Thanks Peter.

here is some pictures of the car. I was able to get it home before the crappy weather hits here. I got a two hour or so window of no rain and dry pavement. I will get some more picures of the car with the digital camera this weekend. I love this car!!!!!

I personally wouldnt change the titanium catback. Try putting a midpipe on it first and see how it sounds. If you dont like it, then change it. That titanium exhaust is light as hell

They are a lot of fun, I got a red 02 with $30K on it for $30K back in May and put 3k on it. Sounds like Mike/NBM2001 got a helluva deal.

I looked at the Titanium catback and seen one off of a car. You are right, they are light as hell! For right now I'm going to leave the exhaust stock, Was looking at the Texas speed lt's and ORXP, but going on vacation and need to pay that off.

Mike/NBM2001 stole that car!!! LOL Seriuosly though that was a steal. You can't find a Z06 online, even on ebay for that price. That is trade in price on Kbb. I ended up getting mine for $34k. I got some pictures but need to make them smaller.
