Yessir BTR stage 2. It makes good power, it's very street able , and sounds great through the ARH 1 3/4 no cats. I strengthened the valve train with 7.395" 11/32 manley pushrods, ls7 lifters, BTR 660" platinum spring kit. Also added cloyes hex adjust timing set, 25% underdrive powerbond pulley ls2 lifter trays, Melling 10296 oil pump. I wanted to add the trick flow timing chain damper adapter kit but had some issues with the bolts so had to pass on it unfortunately. I made sure to degree the cam, measure pushrod length, and keyed my crankshaft hub for the balancer. Also I had to advance timing about 1.5 degrees to line things up with the cam card. I double checked my results about 4 times to make sure I was measuring accurately. My next project will probably be suspension this August. I might go with C6 Z06 shocks, C6 z51 sways, and rear C5 Z06 transverse spring.

Forgot to mention the straub trunnion upgrade as well, ARP head and crank bolts ( hex style regular bolts), TR6 plugs gapped to 0.045", taylor 10.4" wires, and 8 inch insulating covers for the taylor wires. The car came with a cold air intake and a billy boat axle back exhaust. I might still be forgetting something idk.
