Excited for this man! Looks like a fun project

Nice job putting an extended silicone sleeve on that intake!

You got a vacuum leak. Check the rubber hose that goes into intake near throttle body. In the video I can see it looks messed up. I had a few ls1s with hoses collapsed. It’s on the passenger side by throttle body.

I’ll take a closer look. That’s the PCV hose isn’t it?

@@SpeedCultureStudios yes I believe so. It looks like the one that also has a ground wire that comes out of it and grounds to the top of coolant crossover right in front of the intake

As long time C5 owner I would get an oil pressure sensor relocation kit. They are worth every penny.

Definitely considering that! I’m replacing the sensor now but have been thinking I might as well do the relocation.

I just bought one too! Wicked excited

Harmonic balancer Not a fun job.I will never do it again. Need a lift

No wobble in the balancer. AC tensioner on the other hand, was shot! But the balanced will be addressed anyway with the upgrades that are coming!

I was saving up for a C6 at the time you bought yours. Ended up going with a C5 instead and I’ve had a blast. Now that you switched over, would you say maybe saving up would’ve been worth it? It’s something I constantly think about. Maybe one day I’ll own both. One day…

I really haven’t gotten to dive too far into the c5 yet, so I don’t have a definitive response, but I’ve been surprised at how snappy and strong the car pulls. I was thinking it was going to be night and day difference, but it really is not. I think the c5 is a better looking car than the c6 base and unlike the ls1 better than the LS2. The GS is such a good looking car though and the ls3 is no joke, but you can get a c5 for half the cost of a GS and put $5000 into it and have a hell of a car. I wouldn’t second guess your decision!

Wrap the halo I think they look a lot better wrapped.

Check the harmonic balancer. Its a common issue with the C5.

Nice!

All the C6 fanboys will call you dumb for getting rid of the C6 GS but they are extremely delusional and can’t comprehend that the C5 is also amazing in its own right. The C6 generation is not the only Corvette out there worth getting. Also, if you got the money, the C7 is obviously newer and despite the slight weight increase, electronic steering and other gripes, it’s still an awesome car. The pros outweigh the cons

Yeah for sure! I don’t consider it a down grade so they can say what they want 😂 I sold it for a truck and camper. Since I’ve already had a c6, a c5 was still on the list, so that’s what I went with.

Im not really caught up so let me ask you why did you sell your previous vet for this one? Unless I'm mistaken

I mentioned it in this video 😂 We wanted a camper which would require a truck. Sold the C6 and bought a truck and bought a camper.

Because I know the LS1 is an amazing platform for big power with low money but didn't know why you get rid of the C6 anyway once you break in the car Id like a video of you comparing the two I wanna get a vette don't know which route to go wether C5 C6 or a c7 Stingray

@@Kevin-be7ow I’ve always just loved the c5 - growing up in the 90s, that was the car I wanted. The c6 LS3 is an awesome bang for the buck right out of the box, but you can get a c5 in decent shape now for 10-15k.

OK look, these cars are on average 20 years old at minimum so having issues is not abnormal. So just fix the problems or sell the fucking thing for something you think will be less bother.
