Yeah go with a turbo set up...You can tune it everytime the temp changes 10 degree's and the consistancy sux unless you spend big dollars...Just a Thought...

Lingenfelter....If money is no object. Lingenfelter builds turbo cars though. Do a search for C5R in the forum. There is a guy building a mean motor. Do what he is doing, and the put a blower on it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

EDIT...I didn't see the stock short block? Why? The ulitmate blown 02 Corvette, and you bottle neck with the stock shortblock?

go with a turbo and get an Electronic boost controller. Rebuild the engine with a 6.0l iron block, 8.5:1 compression, stud the heads.

If you are going to build a extreme setup... Better make sure you get a aftermarket computer. Tuning a turbo car on a stock computer is a waste. Plain and simple. I might get flamed but been there done that and it was a waste of time and money. An aftermarket computer is not that pricey compared to a shortblock.

Ultimate no expsenses spared...
C5R block, C5R heads, Solid roller, 420ish ci Dry sump with the pump setup to oil the turbo and scavenge
My like single big turbo air-air intercooler, Motec computer system with CDI-8 coil driver setup.
