Love the tribal livery, unique & very period correct. Not sure on the window stickers though.

Any plans of getting high flow heads/intake?
What camshaft were you thinking about getting?
Equivalent-One-3454@reddit (OP)
I'll do heads and intake a little later down the road, I wanna finish my 350z before dumping a ton of money into the corvette. And im looking at the 288r cam
Solid_Enthusiasm550@reddit
288r is a serious cam.
Motortrend did a cam test on a mostly stock LS1( just had an LS6 intake and 243 casting heads).
The 1st cam they tried,
"Comp Cams 224/230 duration, .581/.592-inch lift, 114 LSA camshaft (PN 54-444-11) serves as a mildly updated version of an LS1 favorite, the single pattern 224, which has served GMHTP enthusiasts well for over a decade. While certainly not a large camshaft by today's standards, the 224/230 has enough duration to give it a great idle, while still making a considerable amount of horsepower and torque over a stock camshaft. "
Added +45.2hp @ peak which moved up from 6,000rpms to 6,300rpms. Peak TQ +10.6lb-ft @ 4,800rpms. They said that cam was still making 441hp at 6,900rpms!
Adding a Fast LSXR intake and 102mm throttle body.
Gained 12.3hp/5 lb-ft over the LS6 w/75mm TB with that cam. It did lose 7 lb-ft of torque < 4,000rpms.

First picture I thought showed a 50 cal mounted to the roof
teeejer@reddit
Definitely thought that was a CROWS for a sec

Dig all except the tribal graphics and wheel center color choice. But I get the vibe you are going for and being different. Big jealous of corvettes for some reason.

I don't see a " build " I see a car that's had parts slapped at it for social acceptance... Yes everyone is different but this screams " pick me " 🙃
1- cheap wheels ( heavy and poor specs ) 2- the random livery to feel like a drift car ( only revs and does burnouts for no reason ) 3- changes taillights that worked fine without need to be modified ....
And yes before you get mad or play it cool with sarcasm... YOU ASKED FOR IT POSTING HERE
fish94@reddit
Heavy for sure. Cheap and bad specs? Are these not 3pcs wheels? My ESRs costed 3.7k and customer service was super helpful in getting the right offset for me
teamgravyracing@reddit
Tribal tats for cars now?
SumScrewz@reddit
Just missing the tramp stamp between the taillights
AngryScottish@reddit
Not to be dismissive of the "project" part, but your year long project involved...putting stickers on it?
Equivalent-One-3454@reddit (OP)
Wheels, full suspension, interior stuff Belt drive system, anti venom mod, stereo overhaul

I have a buddy that has a kit to run a square rear size stock wheel all round. That’s probably what I’d do. But you’s you.
Radiant-Security-347@reddit
I had one of these new. All for tires are the same size. What am I missing?
Equivalent-One-3454@reddit (OP)
I am gonna eventually splurge for an angle kit, I just got these wheels to run until then
BelongingsintheYard@reddit
Ah yeah. He’s a road racing builder. Does all my alignments.
