Well yesterday my Exhaust, Hurricane intake system & power duct thingy arrived from www.westcoastcorvette.com I ordered it Thursday the 18th, it was shippe on the Monday and turned up 5 days later, i'm impressed, Shipping was $325 (£179) which i dont consider too bad considering, it looks sweet and was packed spot on, its hopefully being fitted to the car when i pick it up tomorrow, I blew down it and even sounds impressive doing that :P

Cant wait to get it all fitted and according too the Website should another 45-50 bhp, (not sure how accurate that is)

Probably not very accurate at all. The power claims of the mods to my Z28 mean it should be pushing around 500bhp. Needless to say, it doesn't, nor anything like it. Still, it's the noise that's important. Think of it this way, to get the Z06 to produce 405bhp, they had to do a lot more than change the exhaust and the intake. If it was that easy, that's what they would have done. LOL.

I hope they sent you the correct size intake thingy! I bought a Blackwing and they sent the one for a C5 not a Z06 so I had to fabricate a connector to the MAF.

Apart from that fitting the bits is simple!

I have been buying bits from West Coast Corvette for a couple of years now and there service is fantastic. They always deliver and always seem to have stock which is rare with a lot of American suppliers.

Had the Corsa Indy (Pace edition), its superbly built and is quiteish at idle and cruising, but it rasps when you py the foot down too quite a high pitch, i thought the Touring would be a little too rumbly for me.... Would definetly recommend it though,

We are in a small village called Middle Aston approx 5 miles from J10 of the M40. If you have Multimap or similar the post code is OX25 5QL.
We have spaces for 8 cars on the day at £50.00 a slot(normally two or three power runs) instead of the usual £75.00.
The dyno is Motor Sport Association approved and is guaranteed less than 3% deviation. So this is where the BS stops!!
