New and proud LT1 owner in New Mexico

Hey guys! I just purchased a beat-up 97 Z28 convertible from a terrible, TERRIBLE previous owner. He kept it outdoors in the woods and left her alone so much, she had rat sh*t between the valve covers and intake! She's definitely a project car, but functions decently as a DD for now. I've only had her about a month, but have been having problems with the cooling system... replacing leaky hoses, busted rad cap, old 180 thermostat, etc etc... It's been fun replacing all the weather-worn rubber!

All I've done so far are a couple really cheap mods, such as TB bypass, Afterburner muffler (LOVE the sound, yes it's a cheap muffler lol), and a K&N CAI.

Thinking of headers and a few other things soon, but I can discuss that in the appropriate thread lol.

I don't have a lot of experience with performance mods or car repair, but I'm fairly competent and am able to install bolt-on mods without problems if given decent instructions lol. Lookin forward to some good discussions with you all
