Nice I can't wait to see pics. What's your overall budget

I do have a bit of a question with the use of the stock block and the conversion spindles. Not so sure the stock block is the right choice, and the 15 inch conversion is DEF not money well spent if you plan on keeping the stock rear end.

We all have budgets for sure, what I'm getting at is maybe ditch the 15 conversion and put it towards an upgraded rear? The 15 conversion is done for more sidewall and a better bite....something your rear won't take for sure. Just a thought, no hating.

Def can't wait for pix and more info.

not really sure on the overall budget at this point. Everything adds up so quick.

Thanks, I should be there as long as nothing goes wrong lol.

I thought about ditching the spindles for the moment and doing the rear end, but I really don't want to have any traction issues on the highway. I don't expect the rear end to last long just needs to last for tx2k and I will upgrade it. Pictures will be up soon!

Should be a cool build to see! There will be a bunch of high hp corvettes at tx2k this year. Looks like i'll be staying at the back of the pack this year

Nice build! Not sure you know the definition of the word budget though lol

schpenxel

lol I was thinking the same thing.. Check out some of the ls1tech guys.. some of THOSE are budget builds. I'm surprised some of them even run, but they sure make some power on the cheap

Black04silverado

My definition of budget with this car is cut cost where I can and Spend the money on good parts where it is needed.
Some of these builds on here are all out 50-60k builds. lol
I am Doing all the labor myself aside from the turbo kit fabrication.
I work at a performance shop so i know how far 20-30 grand will get you paying retail for parts and paying someone to install it all.
I hope to have nowhere near that in mine and still be able to out run them!
