Default My Forged LS3 Widebody C5 Project (pics)
What up guys. Havent seen some of you in a while. Been busy but just started to get ready to forge my LS3, just want it to handle the boost. My parts started coming in this week. Plans are to keep things the same just with better parts. Wiseco forged 2618 alloy pistons, Scat forged 4340 I beam connecting rods, new GM LS7 lifters and trays. Block with be torque honed and studded. ARP all around. Gonna keep it at 600rwhp but should be bullet proof...at least at that power level.

Before I get started on my motor we're trying to finish this up. 440ci LS7 2000 SS. Cam heads and high compression. Should be a beast.

Well, I had a slight set back. While moving into my new house on the 31st, I get a call from my uncle telling me someone came around the corner where his house is going too fast, jumping the curb and hitting our cars. This Toyota Camry came over the curb, across the lawn hitting my uncles truck and sending into the rear of my C5. Apparently it was some lady driving. Who knows what the hell happened.

So I figured, might as well do something different. So im doing a bit of a widebody setup. Widebody rear fenders, wide rear rk5 bumper cover, carbon fiber side skirts and a carbon fiber front C5R lip. Thats what the lip is called, not from an actual C5R. Lol. Heres some pics of the parts. I'll let you imagine it and I'll post pics when its all together. Parts are from Corvette Creationz. Great company to do deal.
