557 RWHP and going up, New Stage 2 Head and Cam package coming out!!
Customer loves it!! 557 RWHP one our head and cam package with Vortex Ram Induction and headers through the stock mufflers. We took her out for a spin and found 1st, 2nd and part of 3rd hard to handle. Case of too much power but who ever said too much was not good for you. By the way just before the head and cam install we dynoed him at 504 RWHP.
Had to have the customer sign a waiver to keep it under 3/4 throttle..lol

When your driving at 65mph, and wanna play with someone, mash the throtle, you want all the power you can get. Or I like racing on road courses, 600+ hp is just right with four slicks, like the C6-R.

Disagree. May 1st and some of 2nd but that 3rd pull from 70 would be outstanding. Stickier tires and you could use even more.

Only a waste if driver never utilizes the power.
"if you cant put it down what good is it?"
Just because you have the power doesn't mean having to validate it's potential constantly...there's always the right time and place
"seen too many high horse cars that were nothing but dangerous to drive....few have the ability to handle that much power....total waste!!"
While true that any high horsepower vehicle is indeed dangerous in the wrong hands...experienced drivers who "respect" the available power would beg to differ that it is a "total waste"

What was your intention of posting in this thread? If someone wants as you put it TOO MUCH, which there is never TOO MUCH, then so be it. Many are correct its the 70mph roll on thats fun. When you get the same sensation at 70mph and 100mph that stock cars give you at 30mph then you will know what the big deal is. I've got friends that have TT Vipers that lay down 900rwhp+ and they can put it down. Its all about control and not about never lifting off the gas as soon as you put it down. Thats the fun is control the beast. You can also go to driving school to get better knowlegde on the feel of the limits of your car.

I guess his intention was to state his opinion, as was yours. It's sad to see everyone jump on someone as soon as they state their honest opinion. What would you like, everyone to agree with every post all the time? There's enough censorship in this world already.JMHO

Way to Go Ernie!
I've been using BPP Products in my Vettes for several years now!
From the Vortex Cold Air Induction System to their BPP Step Headers. All gave me VERIFIED and SIGNIFICANT increases in Horsepower and Torque. He has 1 of the most stable Corvette Tuner and Fabrication businesses in the industry. He is constantly researching and developing new products for our cars.
Ernie has been tuning Vettes for well over a decade now. In fact I believe that's how he 1st started in this business. If you are lucky enough to live in this area , I suggest you look up BPP to have your Vette tuned by Ernie.
As many of you know , Ernie brings his staff along with his State of the Art Rig. They attend NCM and other events around the country. This gives Customers out of the area, the ability to have their cars tuned, look, touch and purchase BPP's many offerings.
BPP's customer service , IMHO, is by far the best in the industry.
It's not unusual that Ernie himself answers phone calls in the evenings and on weekends, he cares that much!
