400hp at the wheels with an Auto?! I find that hard to believe without a big cam. I have a pretty big cam in the car and I'm about 30rwhp away from 400.
You have a trans temp gauge in the car already? Find out if a stall/shiftkit and cooler were put in the transmission.

Why the hell are you going to waste your money on MSD coilpacks and UDPs? Seriously dude... for all the cars you supposedly own, you know nothing. (How to spell being at the top of the dee dee dee list)
Read Read Read my friend. Coilpacks should be one of the LAST things to worry about

first, he takes a loook at his car and noticed "jet performan chip" ?? how the fock can you see that?? please educate me
second, he beat an 01 SS with ram air and throttle body??? to me all the SS look alike.esp when you cant clear see the rims. im sure he didnt just look/hear the car and tell us that it has throttle body and RAMAIR ROFL.
third, this is the BEST; his BEST friend works at the "BIG" corvette dealership and he sacred himself when he drove his TA.. he was shaking when he got out... ROFL~!! if this is true he is 100% *****. obviously his BEST friend doesnt drive C5 all day long. guess the BIG corvette dealership havent had a chance to buy a Z06. oh once again please remember, this is only 400hp car... cuz he said so....
My 1993 VW golf has 400 hp at the wheels too.
