What's up guys!

Well last time I posted here I said I decided on following through with the big turbo build on my Audi.

The urge of missing a V8 over powered me and I decided it was time to get back In one.

its not an LT1 but just bought it yesterday. Fully loaded targe top 00 corvette 6sp with 98k :) bone stock besides a magnaflow catback.

gonna rock it as is until winter and over the winter going to save up for a nice cam setup for spring and different wheels.

already feels good to be back. I've wanted one since I was 10

Very cool. Be prepared for the cam swap. You MUST remove the steering rack in order to get the crank pulley on and off the car. It's a PITA because you have to drop the K-Member some to make room to pull it out the DRIVERS wheel well. And it's going to make a mess everywhere and there's nothing you can do about it, lol.

Thanks guys!

Yeah I sold the Audi to put the down payment on this car.

i do all my own work and I'm not all too concerned about it. It's not gonna be my daily so if I take my time to do the cam swap its no biggie. That's how I learn my cars more in depth.

itll be a fun journey haha
