My 99 FRC Had a C4 before with a very built 355, but wanted a C5 and this car came up.
Here is some info:
It had just over 44k on it when it was delivered to our shop. It is a Artic White, with black interior FRC. It is a complete stipper model, down to a cassette player and manual AC controls. It is exactly what I wanted and when I found it I could not let it go, but got an incredible deal.
Since getting it home i have done the following:
Forgestar F14 18/19 combo with Nitto Invo's
C6 Z06 Shocks with a Zip lowering kit front and rear(thanks to pirate#3 for the help)
Smooth coupler
CCA catch can with new PCV and check valve
C6 Z06 shifter and ****
House of HID 6000k HID low beam with projector conversion
Shorty antenna
Z06 Ti exhaust
I am working on the following for winter install:
Cerra Front mount Single turbo kit with a 62-1 and required accessories
Comp 918s and retainers
02+ Z06 cam
LS6 intake
LS2 HD timing chain
LS7 clutch
80lb injectors and dual pumps to run E85.
Want to run 5-8 lbs and make 500 reliable horsepower.
Couple of snaps with the windows freshly tinted.

Looks like a good plan. The only things I might change is the cam and make sure you do research on e85.
If you are going to do the work of a cam swap I would look bigger. I know you are going turbo but get everything you can for the work.
There are 2 blends of e85. A summer blend and a winter blend. I have no personal experiance with this but I have read where people who did tuning said it could require 2 tunes based on the fuel blend. I dont think 5-8 lbs would require or need e85. Might be easier to do a meth kit.
Anyway just some info you might not have seen yet. The build deffinately sounds like alot of fun. Good luck.
