I need money to finish mine. Would you like to be a sponsor.

Lol, definitely not a sponsor...gotta get my own stuff back together now.😉

It is getting taken to the exhaust shop on tuesday since i'm on vacation. Then it will get taken back to James for a full tune.

Keep me in mind on the alinement. Like i said with the same set up and my crude gauge i cant quite get it to where i want. I want to see the specs.

Yep. I'll see what I can do.

Probably lower than a stock manual shifter. Here is an example with the console delete setup we are going to do. I'd say the vette shifter is about an inch shorter than the one pictured- judging from relationship to radio.

shifter is cool for sure, how does it sit in the driving position? super low? in a vette that would be damn near shoulder level, just trying to picture it.

Latest updates. Couldn't start the car due to VATS being enabled. James should be by tomorrow to fix the tune and it should be ready to run. Waiting for a new shift cable bracket and a trans dust cover this week. Interior is still gutted, but I'll work on that after it is out of Doug's garage. Also still needs the exhaust welded up and a few clean up/image enhancements under the hood.

We are going to swap the blue coupler and air filter out - just temporary. Managed to get a good amount of the harness hidden - still lots to go though - will get more loom and finish the rest.


First Oil fill



C5 Vette shifter



Goal is to see what a stock GenIV + truck intake + boost will do. Stock cam and all.

As of this moment I have $5,882 in the drivetrain swap + $3,000 car
