Thumbs up Just saying hello...
I'm mostly a corvetteforum *****, and really only brows LS1tech when I need tech questions answered.

I'm about to install a G5-X2 114 w/ assorted goodies in the car and figured I'd finally post up and register.

My goodies list:

*G5-X2 114 cam kit
*LS2 chain w/ dampener
*ATI super damper 10% underdrive
*LS4 oil pump

Hoping for 420+ w/ my other assorted mods allready on the car. Currently makes 384 rwhp w/ vortex, kooks, cats, stingers, aluminum flywheel, etc.

Here's the ride... some good pics my friend took and my latest w/ the new DRM hood, car will be repainted and targa top converted this spring (by me).

^ Thanks everyone... dumping money into the car for a bit, but after that I'll do the garage floor.

Everyone thinks I spend lots of money... nope... just time. Fixed all the drywall, a few gallons of Baer ultra premium white, then some chair molding and a gallon of custom mixed red (off a Corvette hat of mine), then the self stick viny tiles for the checkerboard.
