hello,

my name is craig i am 22 years old and i am in the army currently deployed in iraq.... i am new to the gm world but i had a 99 cobra that i had built before then like an idiot sold....i am very interested in buying a 02-04 z06 when i get home....im hopeing to learn as much as i can from you guys here about corvettes and different ways to mod them... most likely my route will be F/I i am very fond of the paxton kit... when i was stationed in san antonio danny at lethalperformance had a 402 stroker wit the paxton kit made crazy power. i know that these cars have pretty impressive fuel mileage for the power they make and was interested in seeing what the mileage becomes when you do a cam... like a blower cam.....any info would be awesome or threads you can link me to... thank you so much for your hospitality in advance!

jazzlyn welcome to the Forum For the best answer to your question is to go to the forum section that would be close to the year car your looking at and post in that tech performance or general section. Each section has guys that know their stuff and can give you some good help. Enjoy the forum
