What would you do to get a Katech-prepared Corvette ready for serious autocross duty? Read what one owner did, inside.

Chris Jacobs is a good friend of mine! "Fluffy" has had quite a few more upgrades since that article was published. She runs even harder now!

2001? Wow, that's even before my time at Katech.

Cool thing is I have ALL of the Katech paperwork from 2001. Build sheets, receipts, brochure, and dyno results. Engine number is K1163. Although a few repairs and updates have been done, the short block is all original and has been in the car for 17 years.

Funny, I just read the other day that nobody had broken a C5R chain...
