NEW: Meziere LS1 Electric Water Pump (C5 Version)

For years talk of electric water pumps had been circulating through the LS1 community, and finally Meziere has delivered. Whether you are a hard core drag racer who wants to just cool the car in the pits and staging lanes, an enthusiast who's itching for more power from his heads/cam car, or just a basic bolt on type of guy, an electric water pump is probably for you.

LGM Wilwood C5 Front Brake Package For C5 Corvette enthusiasts looking for more stopping power either at the track or on the street, Wilwood has the solution. In this install I'll put on a pair of of huge 6 piston Wilwood calipers and some nice 2 piece wilwood rotors from LGM on the front of a C5. Not only does it look amazing, it performs.

Did you know?

LS1 heads are not specific to a side. The same head can be used on the right or left.

F-Body Cam and Valvespring Swap By far, one of the best mods you can possibly ever do to your LS1/LS6 is to install an aftermarket camshaft in it. Here I go through the whole process of selecting and installing an aftermarket camshaft, along with the various valvetrain upgrades that are required. Frequently asked cam related questions are also answered. (F-Body) More...   2312575 views Est 3-12 hours

LS1 to LS6 PCV conversion So many LS1's have oil consumption issues and GM took a stab at fixing it on the LS6. In this article I show you how to convert your LS1 over to the newer LS6 style PCV system. This will require cutting away a small part of your engine block, however, it sounds a lot scarier than it actually is. This mod can be done for about $65 in parts.

Infopic: Y-Body vs F-body underdrive pulley

Both of these pulleys are ASP underdrive units. As you can see, the LS1 crank pulley on the vettes looks quite a bit different than on the f-bodies. The main difference is that the belts and accessories all sit further back on the engine since the steering rack on the vette is so close to the front of the motor. Click for full image

Valentine One Hardwire Instructions on hardwiring your Valentine One radar detector into your car. This modification makes the radar detector only power on when the car is on, and keeps both cigarette lighter sockets free. I have yet to get a ticket since my Valentine one has been installed...its excellent! (F-Body) More...   186370 views Est 1 hour

LS1 Head Swap Finally I dug in and did a headswap on an LS1. This turned out to be VERY easy, but a lot of work. I strongly recommend you have a helper during this install, and all the recommended tools listed on the page. Anybody that can turn a wrench (and not get frustrated when something goes wrong) can do this install no problem.
