New Arrival Saying Hi.
Hello just joined the forum. I'm born and raised South Texas. I purchased a new to me 2008 Corvette that was located in St.Petersburg Florida. I flew out from Houston to Florida last Friday and drove back. Facts aside its been a fun and exciting week so far there was a little bit of a learning curb with parking against curbs, pun intended and high/low spots on the rode. Being a Diesel Shop owner I already ordered a fair share of goodies.
From Texas Speed
235/239/.629/.623 112LSA
Chromemoly Pushrod
PRC .650" Dual Spring Kit Springs
LS7 Lifters
ARP Head Studs
Install kit & Gaskets
Hall-Tech Intake
From Corvette Mods
L&G Headers and X-pipe
Replacement Headlight Lens and Gasket
HID Fog lights
DRL
Interior LED replacement kit.
Reverse LED's
Chose only white no blue or bluish lights trying to keep it refined. Ill add pictures when I do the install Mon/Tuesday.
I still need to figure out a radar detector and upgrade the bose audio system but I would prefer not to change the Head unit unless there are replacement ones that look as professional as stock. I also haven't decided to change from stock wheels to black or leave them alone, seems to be split feelings over black wheels on a black car.

Yea, whats your modding goal?
LS3 is a solid engine even up to the upper 600 HP range with no real need for internals...
Did you buy a Z06 LS7? Cam looks like a LS3 engine...
