Hey everyone. Just recently purchased my first corvette and it happens to be one of my favorites. I’m been around the car community my whole like with a mix of muscle and imports. I’ve always wanted a C5 but never jumped on one. So I finally decided it was time. Purchased a 2001 speedway white z06. All stock besides the wheels (wish I had them) I’ll be looking for a set. I have plans to do some work to it. Nothing major. Goal is to make a fun car. Would like to make 450ish give or take.

Welcome to the Forum, Wesley, and congratulations on your C5 Z06!
Lot of great members and helpful info in the C5 sections at: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-1997-2004-2/
Easiest way for the power range you want is with a supercharger but I believe you will get plenty of beneficial input from the C5 members.
Enjoy your ride and save the wave!
