You never know what Cunfuzed is trying to say

Im only 33 biotch.

I am loving this car more and more. The trans is awesome after the A6 tune was done, I have nearly lost control 3 times now. Car moves pretty good.

No, its not. Once you get there, it will only satisfy for a few weeks. Think about it, there are LS3 cars with cam/bolt ons pushing 490-510rwhp. LG even has one with 517rwhp. I plan on no less than 520rwhp through the A6.

Shoot for 700rwhp and settle at 600+, serriously.

Honestly, I can't spend a lot on a muffler. I may just get a Flowmaster CB (since they all add very little power) for a bit more sound but I feel "dirty and cheap" settling for a Flowmaster on a C6. I refuse to spend over $400 on 5rwhp.
Nice, sounds pretty damn good through stock pipes. lol, a friend refuses to put "flos" on his C6, but i understand. Parts are so damn expensive for the vettes.

Yeah...that's what I thought too. Don't waste the time and money on a ported Eaton. If you do go that route, you're going to need nitrous too because the port alone will be too slow.

400 was my magic number when I was 16 then over the years it went from that to 500, 600, and now its 700whp. It never stops and youll never be satisfied for more than a few months..

You are being generous when you say a few months. My **** feels so slow right now....I believe I have a problem with the engine.LOL It is the automotive equivalent to bolemia(or how ever you spell it)LOL

Side note. Last Sunday I took a friends wife for a ride. Whne I asked him what she thought the next day, he said she pissed her pants. I laughed thinking she was scared. He made it clear.....she pissed herself.

There aren't any tracks around here, but I am thinking with my full bolt-ons and a 150 shot, I should be able to give one a run for their money.

Full bolt ons and a 100 shot should be enough. Usually.

Not enough for me!!!! I have really been thinking about skipping the port and saving for a KB it would be a used 2.2 but your 600rwhp on pump is good enough. Hell I have fun with it now. If the budget is there in the spring then I am just gonna do the stage 4 port should be good for over 500.

Don't waste your time on a ported Eaton. Go right to a twin screw...even if you have to wait to get it.

Really? So for 40rwhp isnt worth $550?? I really do want a KB....Whipples are nice but they are to quiet. Which one do you think is better? I would love to have a KB 2.8!!

Is it really just $550...or will you need a clutch, a BAP, injectors, a tune, etc? I had two ported blowers. I wish I wouldn't have wasted the money on them. I could've put the money towards a twin screw and I would've been better off. It's a great mod if you never plan on doing a KB or a Whipple.

I'm leaning towards the KB 2.8 Mammoth.

I believe if I had an 03/04 I would go with a Hellion Kit or a single 76 GTS.
