New from maryland
Hello folks, i recently purchased a 1999 base model so i figured i would join the forum and add it to my vast collection lol. anyways it already has some mods on it as my signature can tell you and i have some more on the way now. plans right now are to take it easy as my last project car (94z28) just went up in smoke (literally burned down) and i traded in my daily (01 eclipse gt with $20k in mods) for something with less miles on it. soon i will throw it on the road course and see what it does but short term plans are: c6 z06 sway bars, c5 z06 springs, headers, cam, real tune, whatever else i need to get close to 450 rwhp.

Thanks, looks like my modding will start this week. optima red top battery is here to replace very old duralast gold battery. i need to get it on a lift and clean the grounds seems i have a slight fluctuation in volts here and there better safe then sorry, 160 t-stat this week (fans already turn on at 195), and "power" coupler to top off the intake. i would love to goto a larger TB but not sure if i want to go without my intake manifold to get it ported. also debating on a larger radiator, nothing too drastic just a bit bigger. really need tires though these 285 michilin's do not like to hook
