New guy here from Tampa, FL

Hey Guys, I'm a new member here from Tampa, FL. I recently purchased a '99 Corvette FRC with 8,000 original miles. It has a 404cid LQ4 6.0L iron shortblock built by Wheel to Wheel Powertrain, 6.0L heads ported by TEA, and a Procharger F1R supercharger. The interior has a custom 6-pt. cage also by Wheel to Wheel. I've been looking for a nice C5 for a while now and this one I just had to have.

Welcome aboard, just doen the road in Riverview.

Have an 01 Z that I did a major upgrade to last year. If you are looking for work on your car, give Greg at Antivenom (a supporting vendor) over in Seffner a call. Greg built my 454 this past summer.

Re: New guy here from Tampa, FL

Welcome to the best perfomance vette site on the 'net...the family members here are bit and that is a good thing!! You should fit right in with that beast. Nice ride!! Congrats.



Watch your temps though.....looks like the rad shroud is not sealing the area over the intercooler, directing the air through the radiator

don't believe a thing this guy says

the only reason this guy's car is orange is because he ran over a few cones on the roadcourse in Feb

The previous owner said it made 646 rwhp on a Mustang dyno and trapped 131 mph in the 1/4 mile short-shifting 1st and 2nd. I plan to get my own numbers as soon as I can. The car is scheduled to arrive from Kentucky tomorrow.
