New to me vette, wish me luck!
Hey guys! Just wanted to introduce myself and my new to me vette:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Corvette-Z06-/152088881939?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2369342b13%3Ag%3AduQAAOSwl-FXNSjS&item=152088881939&autorefresh=true
Hopefully you can see that still.
Picked that up last week. Car has had a storied life in Ohio as a TTA/TT3 car. I will continue doing HPDE's with it up in the Detroit area, starting in Grattan this saturday. Say hi if your there! First time in a RWD so go easy on me =)
The PS rack is leaking, big surprise. Planning on sending it in to Turn One, getting a T1 PS pump, and an ATI UD pulley while I have the rack out. Should be a fun time
I only want to do this once! I have searched most of the threads on here and think I can do it on jack stands over a week or two. Any specific tips?

The rack is no fun, doable, but no fun. It is the one thing that I always pay someone else to do. As far as Turn1, that is a good move. The ATI underdrive is also smart. The car will be good for a couple of years of hard track driving if it is in good shape now. Don't worry about too many upgrades until you start heating things up. You will then want to add coolers. For the tranny, I would go with the pump driven off the rear end. The electric pump is noisy and expensive to replace. After that, upgrade when you start breaking things. Then, go with your philosophy of do it right the first time.

Yeah, I think you have it covered. 
BTW, have Danny give you some pucks to put into the rack when rebuilt. It saves you wear and tear on the brake cooling ducts when running bigger tires. He made mine for me. You might ask him if the rack has them already. If so, call Turn One and tell them to reinstall them on the rebuild.
