Well me and buddy have been building his 2003 C5 coupe. When he picked it up the car was all black 6 speed targa top car. The car already black/polished C6 Z06 deep dish wheels on it, a procharger P1 blower, Long tube headers and borla exhaust. Other then that the car was stock and seemed like it needed a better full system so he took it to Dallas Performance and had them add 42lb injectors and a bigger fuel pump and do a custom tune the car made 550hp on that set up. He drove the car for about six months and decided he wanted to start building a motor and upgrade blowers. So he came a cross a polished D1 with like no miles on it. The motor was starting to tick a little so we built a full forged 370 for tons of boost! The motor has JE pistons, H beam rods, full ported heads, custom BulletRacing boost cam! Then we got a set of ARH 1 7/8 headers to upgrade the small ones that were on it already. We then ordered an ESC intercooler and custom pipeing all done by us. The car also got a sheet metal upper intake and edelbrock vic jr lower intake. Twin disk Mccloud clutch. Dallas Performance full fuel system with dual pumps. Then we ordered a Alky Control Meth kit for the car. The tune and meth kit was installed and done by Bret BLOWNBLUEZ06 !The car was totally disasembelled and custom paint and body work done by the owner Brent. The car is painted GM Inferno Orange and Black! We also added a cowl hood to clear intake and wide body rear fenders. We also put a cage in the car. The motor was built to handle around a 1000 plus hp and we think the car should be making around 700-800 hp right now (has not seen dyno since new build) so we are in the market for a F1 blower now and custom wheels. Now for some pics from start to where the car is now. I'm sure I left out some details, so just ask if you wanna know anything else!
