On many occasions when I have been invited to play the game, I have responded by...

    True Honesty

    OK guys, I'm looking for an honest discussion here. I have an '07 C6 w/ just over 4000 miles. So far I've added LT headers, new wires, 160 deg t.s., K&N filters, and a dyno tune. I have to tell you that I see very little difference (if any) in performance since I took delivery (bone stock)...
