I've only done it 5 times so far but I have it down to a science now, start to finish it takes me about 6 hours now to replace a clutch in a C5 with LT's. Thats working off jackstands on my garage floor, using a torque wrench on every bolt and lock-tite where applicable. If I had a lift I think I could do it in under 6 hours, it takes me a good 45 minutes to an hour just to get the car in the air high enough and positioned right.

I'll be doing it all over again when the weather breaks but I plan to have someone take photos to document everything so I can put a nice little DIY together.

We're extremely experienced with Corvettes and we have done lots of header installs - there is just simply no need to charge those excess prices for these cars.
