Hello Everyone,
I am pretty new to this corvette gig, vs the musclecar thing. I have a 2001, blue,6spd coupe. I have been accumulating parts over the course o the last year and this is what I have.
1. Hurrican Intake.
2.Velocity Stack.
3.SS Longtube headers.
4. B&B bullet Exhaust. ( going to have my hotrod guy build an X pipe when we install the exhaust)
5. LS1 nitrous kit. ( if i decide to use it, only a 50 or 75 hp shot)

I still need to know whatI should get for a MAF????
Also after installing this many aftermarket parts Will I need to get the car tuned??? so it doesnt run like crap and throw a bunch of goofy codes?
And LASTLY, because I am new can someone give me an estimated HP gain, without the nitrous????????
Thanks for your time guys, anything will help.

 

I would say you could expect 40-50 hp gain but someone like Lee would be able to tell you amore accurate number than me.

 

If you have the car's ECMre-tuned after installation (you really should) I would expect 25-35 RWHP gain NA (if its on the high side some of the gain is from just the tune alone -- often just tuning the car without any aftermarket parts and pick up 5 RWHP.

A "50 shot" will give you about 43-44 RWHP, and a 75 shot about 67 RWHP. You really need to have the car tuned with the nitrous -- without a good tune a lot of 50 and 75 shot kits cause a type of oscillation (power on, power off) and can result in some engine damage) -- and count on using all or most of a bottle on the dyno getting the tune just right.
