Any Winter Projects Going On?
What winter projects do you guys have lined up?
I'm going to:
1. lower mine on stock bolts
2. Do some spot painting. Painting the nose, rockers and mirrors
3. Finish installing a set of Z06 rear splash guards and stock C6 front guards
4. Install American Flag inserts onto all my C5 emblems
5. Get it super cleaned up and ready for spring

Quick question. I am looking for 50 anniversary inserts for my hood/trunk emblem. The previous owner took them out. Don't know why and didn't even notice until first wash. Where are you getting the American flag inserts? As I might find the 50th inserts their too.

I recommend you contact Gene Culley at GM Parts House. If I'm not mistaken, he carries them.

As a matter of fact, Going to install:
Stage 2 heads with 59cc chambers and a cam, then retune it. Hopefully this will end the mods for a little while.

I just bought the thing a month ago so am planing a thorough going over. The radiator needs the pine needles and leaves removed. The fuel filter I'm sure needs replaced. I'm disabled so stuff like this will take me quite a while to do but it's will be fun misery.
I think I'll lower it as well and maybe an air box mod. One thing leads to another so I'm sure I'll think of something else before spring.

Already installed a Vengance Racing Ported FAST 92 with a PP LS2 TB...
Manifold was sanded smooth and painted Mill Yellow. I had to relocate the Pwr Steering reservoir with a custom fabricated bracket to clear the S/C Head unit and the LS2 TB.
up next :
TSP 100mm MAF with LS1 adapter wire harness
LS2 Fuel Rail
Autometer Wide Band & Boost Gauges
Custom 2 gauge pillar pod from Double D Mods
Re-Tuned next spring...
can't wait
