Default Hi class problem

I know this is my first post, lurked for a long time & knowledge gained.........Thank you.
I have C5 & 6, both flawless low mileage & Queens.
Problem, on my shop floor brand new & unused ported AFR 205's, Fast 90/90, Comp Cam 228/228, Meziere EWP & YT Ultra lites. All for the C5.
My original plan was to Hot Rod the C5...leave the C6 stock. I've already did exhaust, ported intake & TB to the C6...so much for leaving it stock.
Now I'm questioning my original plan, the baseline with C6 is much higher.
Thinking out loud.

What year is your C6? If it is an 08 based on the LS3, it will have a lot more potential to make more power with less mods than a LS2 based C6. So if the C6 is a LS2 based one, I would leave than one stock and keep modding the C5. If the C6 is a LS3 based one, I would sell the 'C5' parts and pick up a good CAI, LT headers, a cam, and a tune for the C6. You can easily be in the 475 rwhp range for less money than the C5 parts cost.

My C6 is LS2 based, I agree 100% with your comments. Will go forward with the C5 mods.

Tx's for your input.
