Default Hello

Hi,

First time Vette owner here. Prior military, PSYOP/CAV. Dabble in a bunch of different stuff now Other than that plan to build a nasty c8 myself. Starting with the Magnuson Supercharger. After that plan is to drop either the 416 or 427 block in and then as luck would have it a simple swap of the stock maggie cog gears and boost profile fits either perfectly for over 1000hp lol. Will add all supporting mods and probably a little meth to aid in cooling as well. I also have custom offset rims if you plan on doing those just hit me up for the measurements. Can fit a 10” wide front and 12.5” rear easy peasy no rub.

Thank you for your service! Welcome to the Corvette Forum.

Your timing on the LT2 C8 is excellent, being that there are plenty of mods and is very tunable. At this time the new 2027 LS6 engine is arriving and is promising, however will be 2 to 3 years before the PCM is opened for tuning, and for now will have limited mods as more will be developed.
