NEW: LGM Wilwood C5 Front Brake Package

For C5 Corvette enthusiasts looking for more stopping power either at the track or on the street, Wilwood has the solution. In this install I'll put on a pair of of huge 6 piston Wilwood calipers and some nice 2 piece wilwood rotors from LGM on the front of a C5. Not only does it look amazing, it performs. (C5) More...

Meziere LS1 Electric Water Pump (F-Body Version) For years talk of electric water pumps had been circulating through the LS1 community, and finally Meziere has delivered. Whether you are a hard core drag racer who wants to just cool the car in the pits and staging lanes, an enthusiast who's itching for more power from his heads/cam car, or just a basic bolt on type of guy, an electric water pump is probably for you.

C5 LGM Longtube Header Install The headers are a full 32” True Long Tube header that has been dubbed, "The most powerful C5 header on the Planet”! This header includes a complete header with a 3/8” flange and incorporates a “Race Style Merge Collector”, to a full 3” X pipe, and continues in 3” right up to the original 2 bolt muffler flanges. This makes this a full bolt on application that requires NO cutting or welding, and leaves the factory system completely intact incase you ever want to easily put the car back to stock.

Did you know?

C5 Corvettes use transverse (side to side) leaf style suspension springs. The springs are made of fiberglass to save weight.

F-body Heads/Cam Swap F-body version of the heads/cam swap. Optionally, instructions are included to swap the oil pump (Katech ported pump used), replace the timing chain (JWIS installed), and/or install an aftermarket crank pulley. Torque instructions included for both GM head bolts and ARP head bolts. (F-Body) More...   712580 views Est 10-16 hours

LS1 Head Swap Finally I dug in and did a headswap on an LS1. This turned out to be VERY easy, but a lot of work. I strongly recommend you have a helper during this install, and all the recommended tools listed on the page. Anybody that can turn a wrench (and not get frustrated when something goes wrong) can do this install no problem.

Throttle Body Swap Here I show how to go about removing/reinstalling the throttle body. It is VERY easy for a novice to do. I ended up replacing my stock one with a ported unit from Mike Morgan Motorsports, but noticed no performance gain what so ever. (F-Body) More...   236462 views Est 45 minutes

Painted Brake Calipers How to paint your brake calipers with minimal effort. This mod is dirt cheap, and IMO makes the car look quite nice. (F-Body & C5) More...   124396 views Est 4-6 hours w/drying time between coats
