Talking Hello from C5 owner

Hello group! I've lurked for several years, I have a 98 C5 which I've had since 2002. I spend most of my time on Corvette Forum but recently began my project of refreshing my block, doing heads and cams and general maintenance. Car was daily driven for 205k miles including winter salt driving and it has taken its toll. Lots of great info here, I've done lots of reading but have additional questions on my refresh.. thus I'll be posting lots soon!

Just AI treated 243s and a Brian Tooley stage 1. Figured after 15+ years of driving it basically stock it was time to do some mild tweaks. Didn't want to go too extreme to affect drivability.

Yes that will be a strong runner for sure. It will be a different car afterwards!

The drivability will also be determined on who tunes it, choose them wisely lol.
