98 corvette C5 6 speed with a supercharged LME408 stroker motor, kooks long tube headers with x pipe and borla stingers cat back exhaust, McLeod RXT Street Twin Disc Clutch, Tick Performance Remote Clutch SPEEDbleeder Line, Spec flywheel, MSD boost a pump, 42 pound injectors, Locking header bolts, two aftermarket gauges for fuel pressure and boost, and lowered on stock bolts. The car also has a roll cage and five point harnesses the car has not been raced when i bought the car with the stock motor the owner had the roll cage and harnesses in it. I put the motor in which is a $10,000 motor built to handle up to 1000rwhp and the supercharger that was a $7,000 setup. The car is in good condition with 750+hp on low boost. It has only 54k on the car and only 1k with this new motor and supercharger. The motor was sent out to LME and rebuilt about 1k miles ago and ran me $4,500 this motor is freshly built and the clutch was just put in 350 miles ago. Have receipts for everything. Also the car has brand new front tires on it and the rears have about 90% tread. Recently i put in a new wheel bearing. The car doesn’t have the tire pressure monitors in the wheels but i do have 5 of them that will go with the car when it sells. The miles will go up some since i drive the car on weekends.

Here are the details on the motor and supercharger;

LME 408 engine
408" Iron Balanced, blue printed and assembled short block.
Eagle 4.0" crankshaft
Lunati Pro Mod 6.125" I beam rods
Wiseco 4.030" custom forged pistons w lateral gas ports
ARP main studs
ET Performance 245cc CNC ported cylinder heads.
Ferrea 2.080" int. 1.600" exh. valves
Comp 977 dual valve springs
Titanium retainers
Cam Motion custom LS1 camshaft 238 249 114lsa
LS1/ LS2 Billet Main Caps
Cometic MLS head gaskets 4.085" x .051"
ARP 1/2 LS1 head studs
Roll master double roller timing set w/ torington bearing & nitrided gears.
GM LS7 hydraulic roller lifters
LS1 push Rods Comp cams
LS1 windage tray/ picup tube
Melling 10295 high pressure, coated oil pump/ ported
Procharger 6psi of boost 7k(installed)
P-1SC-1 ProCharger with patented self contained oiling
• The industry’s most effective and highest flowing intercooler system for C5 Corvettes
• 7+ psi, 55%+ HP gain on stock LS1
There are a few cosmetic things with the car that could be fixed
1. The glass top has the normal c5 problem with the clear coming off a little bit.
2. The back bumper has some light scratches in it and a small crack.
3. Driver’s seat has some normal wear for a 98 put a picture up for you to see.
These are the only problems with the car. Mechanically it is great with no problems I took the car on a 14hr trip about 800 miles the car ran and worked perfect wouldn’t be scared to drive it across the country. On the trip I still got around 22-23 mpg with having 750+hp that is defiantly a plus. Other than the few little things that I have mentioned the car is in really good shape. I’m sure there are some other things that I have forgot to mention that have been done to the car it is fully built i have seen the same motor from LME with a different blower setup that put down well over 1000rwhp. The car has great drivability and handles like it is on rails. The only reason I am selling the car is because I am looking into getting a diesel truck so i might entertain offers to trade for a newer 4 wheel drive diesel also may be open to other vehichles let me know what you have and maybe we can work something out. Give me a call at 315-244-8956 with any questions or you can shoot me a PM on here and I will get back asap. Thank You

Also comes with 2 other pulleys a 4.0 and a 3.4 right now there is a 3.7 on it.

Here is a video just to get a idea of how it sounds.

I do have one for it and a Dyno video also. It was before I changed the pulley and went from a 4" to a 3.7" pulley the car put down 602 rwhp and 550rwtq on a mustang dyno. Like I said this is before boosting up another 3psi so now it is at around 9psi. I also have a Dyno sheet for the motor before I bought the motor three years ago where it put down 511 rwhp on a dynojet without any power adders. The mustang Dyno I ran on is a low reading Dyno my friends maggie charged Gto put down 430 rwhp on the mustang and days later put down 475 rwhp on a dynojet just to give you a idea. So with this said my car running the new pulley and a couple other little changes would put down around 700rwhp on a dynojet for sure and right around 650 rwhp on the local mustang Dyno by me. So the reason it says 750+hp is because I am being conservative on my numbers because I haven't put it on the Dyno again since the pulley swap. If you would like to see the Dyno video click on the link I have of the car idleing and go to my other videos and if you would like to see the Dyno sheet send me your email and ill scan it and send it over.

that is a very nice car, but you will probably get more bites if you lower your $ some, considering that there are fully built low mile 02-04 c5z for less, and there are s/c or slightly modded c6s for that area as well.

either way nice car and good luck with your sale.
