    Default 95 Corvette build

    Hello everyone,

    I just got my corvette recently, back in September. I really love it so far. I'm looking to plan a build for the future. I will be gathering parts over time so cost isn't so much of a big deal for me, within reason of course.

    The only plans so far:
    383 or 396 stroker, with forged internals and an overbore of .030
    Long tube headers (Thinking Exotic muscle full length 1 3/4 with cats)
    BBK 58mm TB
    Probably ported lt1 intake manifold
    1.6 Rockers

    I don't know about the cam so far. I'm thinking about something with at least a .500" lift. The actual heads...I'm not quite sure what I want to for that. I'm thinking darts or afr. Though after that, I'm not too sure. The car came with some aftermarket exhaust, though I haven't been able to figure out if it was a system or just custom exhaust. It has magnaflow mufflers and resonator. But everything before the resonator looks stock. It's an automatic transmission. But I'm planning on getting a manual valve body with a shifter. I want to build it to hold the power that I would like. I want to give it close ratio gears. I have seen some from Sonnax, I believe. I have been looking at the efi connection 24x or 58x ignition. Has anyone dealt with that or heard about it? The power I would like it to make is about 500-550 whp. Is that too much power to hope for? I'm don't mind using power adders. But I don't really care for nitrous.

    Nice plans for a great build. I would recommend AFR heads and take a look at Torque head 24x conversation. I read about problems with the EFI conversation. Subscribed.

    Torqhead doesn't work for corvettes.

    Unless you're wanting to run a 6l80e, 24x is all you'll need.
    24x uses 0411 pcm, 58x uses whatever the Ls2 and up use.

    I didn't know about torqhead. I was looking into efi connection. Which would be better the 24x or 58x? I know that the 24x would be similar ignition as the ls1. But the 58x is the newer ls. If I read that correctly.

    Idk why that would make a difference... but much of the vette dash is still needle with the electronic display in the middle with other info as well as duplicate info depending on the setting.

    It just says they offer no plug and play system... it doesnt say it won't work though. The motor takes all the same connections as an fbody I believe...
