Oh, Josh is a one man operation. I would do some headers, stall converter and a intake. I don't know what free mods are avaible for a c6 but if there are some I would them too.

problem now is I can't decide if I'd rather mod the gto instead. Got a buddy who just bought an 04 goat and the mod war has become. Sure wish Columbus had a shop that was respected

Tunes would benefit a completely bone stock car. Conservative timing, conservative shift points, torque management, high fan settings, and A6 trans tables in general just to name a few of the many reasons.

Trust me when I tell you, there isn't. Some of the GARBAGE work that's been towed into my shop from down there is completely appalling.

Really the only gto ive seen cruising around is a spice red and he always waves. I owned a cyclone grey goat years ago and there was a small group of owners that would hang out. not sure if they still do. Here is my weekend warrior, not sure who i want to mod first lol

I think I saw you fivepointseven heading down manchester the other day in the Goat? I would mod the Vette and keep the GTO stock if I were you. You'll enjoy the mods on the lighter car more. And In a year or two you can sell me that Goat haha.

He had a used alaphabet cam, and arp head studs along with a wet kit. He would spray all the way up to a 250 shot on it. When the motor would die he would go to the salvage get another motor, swap stuff over and go again.
