Default Something different





Well it not a vette but i used C5 suspention and drivetrain and i see some of these on the posts. 6 speed manual. Torque tube shortened 6”. Custom chassis. 17” and 20” billet specialties wheels, nt05’s. I did some moter work since the pics. LS1, Sniper intake, TSP 228 cam,LS2 TB. Weight 2980 lbs, 55% rear weight. I call it my C5A (1930 model a body). Only dynod 348 rwhp but most likely due to my exhaust configuration. Planning to re do the exhaust over winter. Hoping for closer to 380. If i get the cash together ill do heads too. A blast to drive!

With the horsepower to weight ratio you should not have any trouble getting to the grocery store and back.
