NEW: 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. (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.

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.

Did you know?

The LS6 block has larger "windows" between the bays in the block, to allow the air to move back and forth easier. This results in less pumping loss (pistons coming down create higher pressure, pistons going up create vacuum) which should make a couple more horse power at high rpms.

LS1 to LS6 PCV conversion So many LS1's have oil consumption issues and GM took a stab at fixing it on the LS6. In this article I show you how to convert your LS1 over to the newer LS6 style PCV system. This will require cutting away a small part of your engine block, however, it sounds a lot scarier than it actually is. This mod can be done for about $65 in parts.

Infopic: The LS1 "magnet trick"

If you are installing a camshaft into your LS1/LS6 and you aren't removing the heads, you can either take your chances and hope the lifter retainers hold the lifter up and keep it from falling, or you can buy 16 retractable pen magnets with the pocket clip on them. You bend out the pocket clip, reach in with the magnet until it grabs hold of the lifter, then you extend the pen magnet until you have JUST enough extension to let the pocket clip hold onto the head. You need to keep it under tension, loose pen magnets won't do you much good. Click for full image

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. (C5) More...   18149 views Est 12-20 hours

Intake Manifold Swap Sums up an intake manifold swap on an ls1 fbody. Here we bolt on a 2001 intake manifold on a 2000 LS1 without disconnecting any fuel lines. This mod resulted in 20+rwhp gain! on my heads/cam LS1. (F-Body & C5) More...   609591 views Est 1.5-3 hours
