Default Decided it was midlife crisis time

Well after the whole dealing with the truck being stolen stuff Im finally back on my feet again,and must say after driving her for a few days.I've come to the conclusion that my old C5 Vette road like a go kart.Anyhow she's a Bone stock Targa top with a T56 behind her.And lets just say if I did do any mods they would be simple cam only cause Im broke right now

Skip the cam. Holler at me or Aldo about a A&A and enjoy the sleeper life. Silent but fast as hell.

If it has a T56 it will be an LS2 as I believe in 08 they switched to the TR6060 and an LS3

If I'm not mistaken, please correct me if I am misinformed

Yeah, the year would have told the story as all 08s and newer got the LS3, all prior C6s (06-07), the LS2. Interesting fact on the trans change though!

Do a procharger D1SC, headers and leave the stock exhaust if you want a quiet but fast car.

You don't gain much by replacing the axle back....

If you might want more power later go ahead and get an 8 rib kit and F1 now. Just run a larger pulley for now...

I could save you a little cash if you want the ZR1 mufflers. Pick up a set of Z06 mufflers and I can mod them for $100. You would probable be in the hole at about $400-$500 rather than $700 -$1000 for the ZR1s/2012+Z. People think they are made of gold for some reason.

PM me if interested Im on the west side of town.
