Can some of the pros tell me if this seems to be a well built engine package? Im don't know enough yet to tell if this setup is worth that type of $$$ and the parts are top notch? thanks!

Looks like a nice package, but it would appear to be for custom/rod/muscle car applications. It comes with a standalone computer, and no Corvette hood. I think you could get this same type results, and not pay for items you don't need. Maybe this company can tailor a pkg just for your application.

Or call ECS or A&A and I bet they can package a motor just for you for less...

I'd go with a well known tuner here on the forum. Sometimes it might even cost a little more, but that is money well spent with the customer support you'll get.

That motor was built for a street rod NOT a C5.

Turn Key is a VERY well respected engine company, but I would not have them build me one for my C5. Only because their specialty is in Custom street rods and Sandrails.

I would go to ECS, Synergy, 21st century, Norris, LPE, etc etc etc etc for a motor. Make sure you go to a tuner that "Actually" builds their motors, not someone who farms the work out to a machine shop.
