Default 1997 Corvette build thread!

Hey Guys, been a member on here for a bit, had plenty of F-body's (6 to be exact but I just recently got a c5 and wish I wouldnt have waited so long to pick on up! I love this car and of coarse I cant just leave it alone.

Picked it up in june of 2013 with 55k miles for 13,500. It was bone stock.

Since then I have installed-

BTR Stage 2 NA cam (227/234 .613/.583 113+2) BTR .650 dual springs.
LG street Longtubes with Catless Xpipe, Z06 TI axleback
Bigger air bridge, Ziptie mod, BBK 80MM throttlebody.
Nitrous outlet 78mm Plate kit with Cold fusion solenoids and a HSW Nitrous controller (125 shot) and an Ls7 clutch. PLX Wideband and Cyberdyne fuel pressure gauge
Im sure there is more little odds and ends that im forgetting.

Next plans are an ls6 intake or a fast 78 if I can find one.

With the current mods the car made

motor-

based off of your first pic your rear tires need to be swapped lol theyre directional and facing the wrong direction. not good if you go through water lol other than that looks good

Threads like this really make me want a c5.. I'm tired of f-bodies. I just don't want to go through selling my car and then finding another to buy. But it seems like nobody wants to trade for an f-body plus cash haha. Can't say I blame them.
