i think everything but the stripes sounds great, i was looking into the tourquer v2 as well a little while back and same stall too. you cant beat the gm replica wheels for the price and they look so much better than stock wheels. i would much rather spend that extra couple grand some of you guys dropped on wheels on performance parts!

I agree on that one. Not a big fan of stripes. I've got the C5 Z06 wheels in black with the polished lip too. Hate all you want, but I got all 4 for less than $800, and it let me go from stock 16x8's to 17x9.5's. I've also only seen 1 other car in my area that has the same wheels.

You want to talk about common wheels: around here everybody has friggin Torque Thrusts. I'm soooo sick of seeing those things.

It's a good bit smaller cam than what I have, but besides that and the stall speed the set up is about the same. I love mine dude, I'll be there friday so i'll take you for a spin.

My honest opinion?

Great choice on the cam and all the components (oil-pump, timing chain ext.).

I would skip the hood and rims and save up for heads or a nitrous kit depending on your persuasion. These cars look great stock IMO... Just keep them clean with a fresh coat of polish.


Unless you wanna talk about some bogarts.... Then I say go for it

In the end, it's all about what the person who owns the car wants, but I definitely like hearing everyone's opinion. I am pretty much sold on that cam and stall but good advice for the new trans. Thanks for the opinions guys, keep em comin.
