That is the 6.2L, right? I imagine it is fun. I liked the little 5.0 in the 2012 Lariat I test drove compared to the 5.3L in the 2012 Silverado. The new 5.0s have some bawlz

LOL Its only because I went to Jacksonville last weekend for drill and I drove a lot on the highway. Gets 26-28 highway mileage. Otherwise it's 16-17 MPG in town. Once the cam goes in, (If I can ever make up my mind to keep the car or not) it will go way down I am sure. It went from 22 MPG to 20 today from messing around for 15 minutes or so on the back roads by my house LOL

Either keep the car and cam it or get a Z51 LS3 C6 M6. Up to you at the end of the day. You could make one fast C5Z like yours for a lot cheaper though.

All comes down to your budget and desires at the end of the day. If you are getting rid of Camaro for Corolla to DD for gas mileage, I'd venture to say your budget is important to you at this point in time

Yeah, I am trying to pay off some of the debt that my Ex wife left me with so I have been being frugal. I could afford to get a LS3 C6 and have money to spare, but not having a payment is nice. I just rented a room in my house too so I should have everything paid for by november. I already have a cam and pushrods, so I could just throw them in my car but then I need a clutch and tick master, because it already sticks to the floor after hard driving. due to the shitty stock GM hydraulics. So its either spend around 3000$ on mine, or just wait and get a newer vette or CTS V. I'm terrible at making those kinds of decisions.

Lunati 232 238 599 601 112 LSA. Would give me around 50-60 RWHP. IF I do it, I am getting my heads ported and milled and installing an N02 system.

Ive done similar with the go pro. I raced a bolton/nitrous GTO, double clicked the camera start botton, turning it on and then back off. Then at the end hit the botton again to "stop" recording, but actually turning it on for like 4 hours. Bullshit, and I was so mad

I had the Z28 tuned with all the codes for the cats tuned out. A week later the damn CEL came on. Im guessing the 02 sensor went bad, just don't want to spend the 50$ on it right now
