Default Should I do this or not?

I am not even finished tuning the maggie on my 03 Z06 and I am at around 600rwhp/600rwt, and the power bug had set in again.

I am thinking of getting the big 3.3L Whipple LS tuner kit and slapping it on my other forged engine, and dumping my current setup, engine and all into my 01 C5 and selling it.

I would go back to the oem hood and just let the whipple stick out.

Someone convince me that this is or is NOT a good idea?

Thx

I'd say yes. Don't worry, your normal. There's not one person on here that doesn't want more.

How about waiting for the Eaton TVS? They should be out in a while they are gonna make the whipple look like crap and it'll directly replace the current 112/122 (not sure which you got) with more power more efficiency and it will look essentially like what you got.

Think about these before you get too crazy. I agree though there is hardly such a thing as too much power.

the guys at http://performancetrucks.net/forums/ have got a handle on what is going on with the TVS's.
