Also, I'm looking for the following items for my 2003 z06:

- MGW Shifter (prefer the C6 handle model due to **** availability)
- LG 1 3/4" LT with cats
- Underdrive crank pulley
- CAI (Vararam)

Please PM me if you have any of these items. Thanks.

NICE I see another CaFord member has joined the Darkside now lol. I'm known as Cali95gt over there. Funny thing is a guy at work had your old red cobra and just recently sold it. Hopefully I'll see you around. I'm just 10 mins away.

luke87gt

Thanks brother, where r you located?

And cafords? What's that?

FRC__KID

I'm in SSF, CaFords lol. yea i'd forget about it too, you gad the Rio red 97 cobra right?

Just a piece of advise, before you invest in an MGW shifter, test one out from a local Vette owner. There are a LOT of people that do not like them (me being one) because they are way too notchy.

I love my MGW, i don't think i have ever heard anyone say they didn't like them. Not calling you a liar, just never heard that before, lol

It's sold quite often in the for sale forums....there is a reason for that. Who knows, maybe the new MGW with the MGW lower box is vastly improved than the older shifter I had.

Thanks guys, although I definitely have heard mixed opinions, MGW still probably has more positive than any other shifter. From my understanding there were at least 3 generations of this shifter?

In any case, I'd like to give it a shot along with the anti-venom mod.

I thought the MGW was very notchy, I'd get a C6 shifter instead.
Also if your looking for a tuner after those mods there's a very good local that myself and others use from your area

luke87gt

Thanks for the reply. Who would that be ?

LS9Drew

Lt1z on here

luke87gt

Never heard of him.

What's his name? He have a shop?

luke87gt

Also wondering if there's anyone on the Peninsula (San Mateo, Burlingame/Palo Alto) area that knows Vettes and can install a shifter and exhaust system.

Of course any shop can do it, but I am looking for a shop with attention to details who has Vette experience.

Thanks,

Luke

The shifter is very easy. You can use this link as a guide:

As for the exhaust (I'm assuming headers) - take it to Rick@Synergy. You'll need a tune after install

Josh at JRG Motorsports is the place to go to. Contact me for his contact info. His prices can't be beat and he is local. Hayward.

LS9Drew

Yup this what I recommended too . Josh is a great guy

luke87gt

Cool, thanks guys.

luke87gt

Does Josh not have a website? Can't seem to find anything on JRG

Another vote here for Rick at Synergy. He's worth the drive over the bridge.

luke87gt

Guys,

The car will run with Longtube headers right? I need to be able to drive it at least 50 miles to get to my tuner.
