yeah when we go FI we dont **** around, you should see some of the setups on my corvette forum, hell even the run in the mill bolt-on APS kit for C6/Z06 is twin GT35s, and good for around 600-700whp on pump or 1000whp+ on built motor+race gas

"back in my day" the only off the shelf TT kit for the C5 Vette's came from Granetelli Motorsports; and that was a hack'n'slash of a bunch of other people's components. JR Granetelli is a dick BTW

haha yeah I know of what you speak

Theres a few other TT kits for the C5/C6 (like STS) though they cant come close to APS, they look/perform like they were OEM. Though I dont know how anyone can use that much power, Im only at around 480 crank and I light up my 345s even in second without really trying!

There should be at least two coolers in there, oil and diffy IIRC. I just "demodded" an '09 Z06 that had a Vortech setup on it. Nicely put together car I must say. The Z06 is being replaced with a ZR1 which was just ordered last week... Can't wait to check it out.
