  1.  @bbbeck6573  It's actually the NPP exhaust that adds 5hp/5lbs torque. The NPP comes standard on the Z51 package or $1200 option on the non Z51.

  2.  @RaitisRides  I doubt I could feel 10 more HP, but the NPP exhaust note is more glorious, plus I can shut it down early morning or late night to not bother my neighbors. Aftermarket Mild2Wild lets me control the NPP independent of driving modes.

  3. When it's time to replace tires on my C7 Stingray, I'm gonna get non runflat to lighten up 5lbs of unsprung weight at each wheel, which is 3-4 times the equivalent of sprung weight. Also, I'll be widening the rear tires from 285 to 295 (.5 inch wider) for more grip because this engine is so powerful with 300lbs torque right off at 1000rpm that it breaks traction easily when you step on it.

  4.  @RaitisRides  Runflats will bring my car's weight (Stingray not z51 with M7) down from 3300lbs to 3280lbs (unsprung weight has 3x factor compared to sprung weight so it'll be like removing 60lbs. Then when I need a new battery in 6 months, I'll get the 18lbs lighter Braille Lightweight battery...does anyone have experience with these https://www.braillebattery.com/index...s/lithium_ion? In total, it'll feel like 78lbs lighter so the vette will feel like 3222lbs. Based on this article of how much hp is gained from my car losing 78lbs is 11hp: http://www.tuneruniversity.com/blog/...-weight-ratio/ OR 8hp gained if I only did the non runflats. If I could afford $12k for a set of carbon fiber wheel barrels or 1 piece from CarbonRevolution, that would save 15lbs per wheel x 4 wheels = 60lbs unsprung weight equates to 180lbs sprung weight. Imagine removing 78lbs earlier from non runflats and Braille lightweight battery + 180lbs carbon fiber wheels = 258lbs removed. Removing 258lbs would be like increasing 39hp so the vette would feel like it has 504hp!

  5.  @RaitisRides  About tire size, I think I'll keep my OEM rear tire size of 285 because there's more tire contact patch for acceleration versus better looks of 295: http://www.tuneruniversity.com/blog/2011/04/wheel-tech-part-ii-size-matters/
