AI Heads, Cam, Intake beat a C6?

I'm thinking of going with AI for a "full port" on my LT1 heads. Should I go ahead and have the intake "street/strip" ported as well?

Assuming I go ahead with the AI Heads, Intake, cam... What can I really expect. I've seen over 400rwhp with full ported heads only.

To tell you what's really on my mind... I don't want the C6's smokin my ***.

I suggest you talk to Phil. He will be able to answer your questions the best. His screen name in AI.

dont worry about C6's, everyone thats gonna own one anytime soon most likely wont know how to drive, or care to race them to begin with
but with a good combination putting down 400+ to the wheels, i dont see a C6 being much of a threat

I guess you'll find out in a few months when the C6's start hitting the streets.

Racing isn't all about peak rwhp.

I would expect since a C6 is lighter than a ZO6 and has about the same hp/tq rating (whether they are underrated or not will be determined soon), they should run very similar to a ZO6 and should trap 114-117mph stock with a capable driver.

Will84 - You will be able to trap that mph with AI heads/cam. I doubt you'll be "spanking" them, but you'll take your fair share, and may lose your fair share as well.
