Most likely new Radiator and oil cooler. Haven't decided if I want integrated or separate. I may try to build a shorter radiator and modify the intake to the Vortech to accomodate a 4" inlet. It should be good for a few more HP.
New RPS triple carbon clutch hopefully coming in next week from LG Motorsports.
Fix my A/C
New Drag Radials. Possibly M&H or maybe BFG 345/30/18's

Holy smokes Jason, that's one huge "to-do" list!

Drew, is IForged making custom TE7s for you or are you running 1/4" spacers to clear the C6 Z06 brakes?

I was thinking of some black TE7s as well but was told they will need 1/4" spacers on the normal 18x9.5 and 19x11 set-up.

My list is not too bad,
1) MCM Carbon fiber hood
2) Caravaggio seats (already in. black with red Z06 insignia's)
3) A&A stage 2 upgrade kit with new ram air intercooler, black piping and red couplers. Standing rad back up at he same time.
4) custom made projector headlights (retaining pop-up feature)
5) If my wheels sell, C6 Z06 brakes and new wheels (undecided)

Hey bud

Iforged did realize that the big brake kit would cause an issue so the are making the rears a 53mm offset which on their computer renderings should be good enough to clear. Basically 1/4 of an inch or 7mm they will protrude from the wheel well. I think the fronts were OK. I do not have the wheels yet but once I do I will post pics I have been gaurenteed a full $ refund if they do not fit as this was a major concern of mine when buying them.
I am using Stephen who is a supporting vendor on this site for these wheels.

Give him a shout with your questions, he has been great to deal with
