Am I missing something here? This seems like a great package. As I stated in a post ( http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zero...ost&id=1125355 ) it has pushed me to get a C5.

Someone let me know if I am missing something with this package. It looks complete to me.

Thanks
Jim

I don't really think you can go wrong with most of the heads/cam packages out there now. You just have to decide how much cam you want and go from there.

I LOVE the new setup, But if I can get a C5 to pull like the C4 (I'm sure you can) and have the quality of my Lexus, count me in!

Thank you again, to you and the entire crew, for a top notch job.

See ya at the beach.

Your not missing anything here. This is a great package for those interested in a bunch more hp's for a great price. The vette Drs are top notch, if you still need some more hp's after this upper end package go for the stroker. :chevy :cool:

Got most of the package now I just need the heads :smash: . I need a bigger radiator, oil cooler, diff cooler, and tranny cooler to boot. I am then good to go. Or should I stroke it with an iron block this winter and eat the foreign cars at Pocono :smash: With 53,000 hard maile a new motor maybe the ticket. :D

JimBJr,

I don't think you are missing anything! This is basically the same package I got almost 2 years ago for a lot less money. I guess that was my price to pay for being an early adopter :D ! But just think, I have had the pleasure of about 10,000 miles of rocket fast performance over the last 18 months!

Compare this package to the most recent GP in this section and you will see that it is by far a much better deal! If you are looking for some comparisons to where your performance will be look at my sig.

I guess the one thing this thread is missing is the one thing YOUR DO NOT WANT FROM YOUR TUNER, corvetteforum hype!!

This is just good ole performance for a very reasonable price!

This package offered by the vettedoctors sounds like one hell of a deal, especially considering the warranty. If I didn't have mine done already I would be all over this awesome deal and then go :smash: the competition.

Nitro :D

Bill, I agree I don't need the hype, just the quality and results they provide.
I have seen your car at the doctors a couple of times, it's gorgeous, You need to take me for a ride in that monster.

Nitro, their warranty and reputation does make doing the modifications easier.
