New from PA
I jumped ship from the Corvette forums because they're inundated with threads such as "Who makes the plushest floor mats?" or "Which plastic taillight covers look the coolest?" I'm about to begin building a new motor for my C6 and decided it was time to make the change after searching for information about similar builds and coming up empty on the Corvette sites.
I have two blown black GM's, a 2007 Corvette and a 2009 CTS-V. I'm starting to forget what I've done to the cars over the years, so I'm posting the vehicles and their mod lists below to serve as a personal reference and share with the community.
Engine
Novi 1500 supercharger, polished
Motron 60# injectors
MSD Boost a Pump
AlkyControl meth injection kit
ECS intercooler
ECS CAI
PCV oil seperator
ECS valve cover breather
ECS billet supercharger bracket
ECS radiator support
Tial Q blowoff valve
NGK TR6 spark plugs
MSD plug wires
Hurst shifter
Monster Level 5 clutch
Hardened axles
West Coast Corvette coated headers
Random Technologies off-road x-pipe
Corsa Sport catback
4.10 gears
Suspension & Wheels
Pfadt coilovers
Baer cross drilled rotors
Forgiato Estremos 19x9 / 20x13
Toyo T1R 345/25/20 and 255/30/19
Body
SIC Z06 front bumper
RPI side skirts
Lingenfelter Twin Turbo hood
APR rear diffuser
Group 6 rear wing
Shaved door handles
Shaved side markers F&R
Eagle Eyes led taillights
OEM Z06 rear fenders
Interior
Corbeau A4 black alcantera seats
Custom alcantera and leather steering wheel
A-pillar gauge pod w/ ProComp gauges
Kicker 600w mono amp
JL Audio Stealth Box w/ 10w3v2
Current numbers are 667/585 SAE. I'm putting a forged 402 rotating assembly in the stock LS2 block w/ ported LS3 heads, FAST 102, and upgraded fuel system to hopefully see around 850rwhp with the Novi1500 maxed out. This fall I'll beef up the drivetrain and switch the head unit out to a YSi and hopefully see around 1000rwhp.
My daily driver is a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V 6MT. I picked it up last summer after looking long and hard for the right pre-owned black 6MT car. I found this one with 1,300 miles that had never seen rain and looked better than new. The original owner would probably have a heart attack if he knew how quickly I began ripping it apart.
New Era CAI w/ 14" Green filter
KDI Track Sweeper TS-19 cam
PRC Gold dual valve spring kit w/ Ti retainers
Injector Dynamics 850cc injectors
Hardened .740" pushrods
2.55" upper blower pulley
9.1" lower blower pulley
Innovators West harmonic dampner
KDI intercooler
Jabsco intercooler pump
Stainless Works 2" primary longbutes
Stainless Works 3" dual exhaust
NGK AFX wideband
Eibach coupe springs (3/4" coil cut on fronts)
D3 Cadillac LED fog lights and air ducts
Kicker 1000w mono amp
Kicker CompVR 12" sub in sealed box
This forum has already been extremely informative in helping me spec parts for my build. I'm going to post a build thread for the Vette in the Gen IV forum to get some feedback before pulling the trigger on the parts this week.

Welcome to the forum.
So which plush mats did you go with LMAO!
Seriously though your rides and pics are sweet that vette just looks like a beast! Definitely should be able to get some great info here. I'm still pretty new and seems like a great community.
