Sold the Lightning and bought a 2000 C5 Z51. Like maybe 5 mods, slow, and needs a lot of things fixed on it.

Yeah the muffler tips are derpin out of control...turns out the midpipe is all f'ed up.

Looks good. Boost gauge?

Positive vacuum gauge. No idea why it's in there though... :hide:

Cool. Have fun with your new project.

Thanks man :cheers

clean! looks good! most vettes that alternators whine seem to have boost gauges, weird!

Thanks! This one actually has two alternators, which is weird because it doesn't have a sound system or anything. I'm thinking about selling the other alternator for like $3k and doing a heads/cam/full bolton package for it since it has a stock LS1 in it...whatcha think? Or keep that noisy alternator?

Where is the model?

always stay with the blower. nice ride.

lol workin on it.

Thanks

Guess I'm used to the C5Z that had power almost evenly distributed or so it seemed..this one is towards the top end.

Sorry for the rag in the pic, I forgot to pick it up after wiping down the fuel rail covers.

Most strategically placed rag ever.

Lmfao. That rag pic is killing me.

why are you hiding it if everyone knows about it?

That's a unique intake setup! Keep what you have and pick up a used set of 243s and have Ray port them. Bring a model over and you'll get a discount!

:mrgreen:

Because it's entertaining to me, at least. :bigthumb:

I noticed that these 843 heads had their number shaved off on the passenger side towards the second alternator. Why do you think that is? But if you look towards the back near the firewall, you can see 843 clearly.

And I'll definitely go that route...sounds like the most budget friendly option lol

All i will say is.


After driving it.



I want one

Only one end of the head gets stamped.

Ohhhhh ok, thanks.

Honestly I don't blame you for covering up the turbos. Glad those nitrous lines are hidden too.

Whew

when are you racing 1smkn99? new ride vs new ride

Mustangs are slow regardless of the motor.

I don't know if I can keep up with a "3 on the column". :/

Do I get one car length for every year older mine is than yours? Lol

If that's the case then we'll have to make it a 1 mile race. lol

Eat a dick.

Can I start from a roll?

I didn't say congrats, so congrats.

1.2mph roll.

Thanks!

I see all the wiring was professionally done.

Horribly done*

Everything on this car was done by Bubba&Friends. And by friends I mean beer.

It's at least a running project. And for the price I paid I can't expect a mint car..

I find it ironic that the base model seats (sport seats) are better and nicer looking than the Z06 ones.
