After looking at the prices of C5 Z06's, mine may be going up for sale soon, to hell with doing a M6 swap, then needing a 12 bolt, that would pay for long tubes & other C5 bolt ons. And I can keep my heads, cam, N2O for the Z06. Decisions, decisions!

Change in plans.....just picked up a 56 mile engine out of a wrecked '04 Cobra. Now I need to make up my mind on which power adder(s).

You all are funny guys!

I just want to keep mine running and I will be thankful for that! 2 motors blown in one year is too hard to swallow. It seems like I got my motor back running, placed in 2 races in 1 weekend, then it threw another bearing! 2008 has been an overall bad year! Maybe in 09 I can do more racing and have a lot less down time! I am not a very happy girl when my race car is not up and running and I don't get to blast down the track at least once a week!

My next move is to save up money for a new 408/ 427 for the formula and have a N/A car that runs consistenst 6.60 1/8th times. Im not going to do anything major to the SS until I get out of college.

Good plan, plenty of time, and more money after you get out.

Get it running, then either sell it or get a 12 bolt.. I've got a nasty itch for a C6.

Need new heads/cam/waterpump/fuel injectors/timing chain/headers, etc...
