Any new mods coming your way? How about a post of your current plans.

My plans at present are to break the Z06 in and then enjoy it.

This certainly appears to be a tech oriented site, which beats waxers anytime. Waxing is cool but 'vettes didn't earn the rep by the paint job...

Let's get serious. I'm ready.

I have my 422 read to go in. My new wheels are coming in 2-3 weeks. After that I'm picking up the LGM headers, finding a clutch and installing the 422 in about 4-7 weeks I hope. Should be pretty exciting. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Well, I have been waiting on a my 383. I couldn't stand to see all the other C5's getting modded, so I had GTP Stage II heads, mild cam, and TPIS installed. It put down 393RWHP with no tuning and still running a little rich.

I am hoping for around 550+hp from my 383 plus I will run a 100 shot just for grins. Those LGM headers sound tempting as well.

Hey Godspeed I have some questions for you off-line. How can I contact you?

Immediate plans are to install my MTI T1 cam, buy LS1 Edit and hope the snow melts soon <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I'm going to start looking for a used set of headers as soon as the cam is installed.

Still waiting for the Magnuson blower to come out. I've got the car torn down ready for it. Anyone need a LS6 intake? Later <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

ARE 436ci with a biggie cam (24x/24x 112LSA .6xx/.6xx)is being installed at ARE in the next month or so.

DRM HD Radiator/Oil Cooler also being installed at the same time.

I am still undecided on what headers I am going with but hope to have it hashed out by the time the car goes in for install or the TTS are staying on for the time being.

When I get the car back I am doing a few minor brake upgrade so I can have some fun at the Road America lapping event in late april. SS Pistons, SS Lines, PFC 99/01 Pads, Brake Cooling Ducts, new STOCK rotors.

I also have to make some sort of a combo fire extinguisher/camara mount for my Brey Krause harness bar.

Also, have to install a new set of PIAA 1100x foglights and a Column Lock Bypass.

Geez, I wonder if it ever ends?? <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

My current plan is to pick up my C5 on friday! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

After that I'll marry Alyson Hannigan (from American Pie and Buffy the vamp slayer) and retire.

Those are my current plans, but they may change. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
