I love the LT1. I just hear it's weak point is the opti. Though I'm sure you all know that
. Hopefully when I get that fixed, I'll be good to go. I picked up an MSD Optispark and ignition coil to replacing the failing stock one (made it 130k miles!). If anyone's in the area of East Hanover and wants to help me swap in the new opti and coil, let me know. Will supply pizza and beer
.

Where abouts west? Budd Lake is about the furthest west that I know anyone. But I've taken the trip out west for fireworks

Thank you
. I was talking to a guy with an LS1 running 18" rears and he said that he could get away with stock studs since a 1/4" inch spacer isn't that thick. Any larger and he said definitely change the studs. Do you think I'd be ok with just squeezing by on stock, or is it just better to look into longer studs anyway? If so, how long and what specs? Sorry for all the questions but I've never changed out studs before.

I don't plan on taking her down to the track, but I do want the ability to defend myself at a traffic light if need be
. Personally, I rather run 17" rears but it seems most Corvette wheels for sale have 18" rears. I was trying to find someone selling a pair of 17" chrome z06 wheels to match my fronts, but I haven't seen any around for awhile.
