Big fish in a small pond
Gentlemen,
I don't go to the track or strip but I do drive 'er hard and smart. My previous "fast car" was my tire smoking, to 60 in 7, 140 mph 1996 Impalla SS. For the past year I have been soaking up all the Corvette info I could, and in May I finally puchased my first Corvette. You can see in my sig the mods that I had planned. This car is soooo fast to me. Launching from the light at 2800 rpm, it is always exciting to see if I am going to hook up or smoke out. If rolling in first at 5 mph, WOT will render a faint squeal from the tires most of the way to 2nd. How much more HP can I handle anyway?
Most everyone in the forum has experience with mods. If I am not looking for tenths of a second at the strip, would you guys recommend going ahead with the LFE mods?
The only mod I have done so far is changing the shift **** to a round polished '66 repro since that is the car my dad sold four months before I got my liscense! :flag

Re: Big fish in a small pond (03LingenfelterC5)
You could go somewhere else and have a lot faster car for less money than lingenfelter would charge. Lingenfelter is the best but there is a big price that goes along with that. I had a lot of money to burn i would buy a LPE package but i dont. If you have the funds to go with Lingenfelter than do it but if money is tight see what some of the other supporting tuners can do for you. :cheers:
