Welcome Phil, sharp looking C5. Besides the wheels and rear exhaust, is it otherwise stock or anything else done to the car?

Nice set up. Do you know which Z06 cam it has (there's two different Z06/LS6 cams if you're aware), and how familiar are with this stuff? I never heard of Z06 injectors before, LS1 and LS6 came with the same injectors. Kind of sounds like when people say LS6 throttle body, there's no such thing.

Cowboy this is my 1st LS motor much less fuel injection so I only quoted the guy I got the car from. I came from a street strip 72 Nova, 32 Ford roadster project to the corvette so I'm still learning. I've already begun learning a little more than if thought I'd learn this quick such as the stretch to yield bolt on the crank pulley.

I figured you were quoting the previous owner. I was a complete amateur to LSx engines when I first bought my '00 C5 about 5 years ago. Never touched an LSx vehicle before that besides helping a friend swap the 4L60e auto trans in his '99 T/A. Took me all but 3 months after buying the C5 to decide to turn it from 100% bone stock to installing a completely new topend from heads to air filter, camshaft, flycutting pistons, upgraded T56 trans, upgraded clutch and hydraulics, oil pump, fuel system, brakes and stainless lines, longtube headers and exhaust, etc etc, all done myself in my garage. One thing I learned is these cars are very simply and fun to work on IMO. Good luck with yours and hope you enjoy it. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask.

Fantastic choice in previous cars also. '32 Ford roadster (big thumbs up).
