So, I'm 29, had my Elky since High School. Been kept in a chicken coop, finally rebuilding it after 10 years. Got a 92 L98 vette engine, slightly breathed on, should be about 525hp NA. Just got a c4 Corvette IRS for me to have fun mounting. Hoping to have a corner carving beast of a Gbody that's able to pull 1+ G on the skid pad when done. I know it aint the best platform for a corner carver, but I love the odd ball stuff. Any comments or ideas?

Welcome to the forum! Where are you located? What's been done to the L98?

Thanks! I'm in Stuarts Draft, VA. The L98 has flat top pistons, big cam, TONS of head work, race bearings, billet girdle... A few more things I can't think of right now. My buddy is building it for me. Gonna be a rolling advert for their shop, so he's helping me on a bunch of work. Gonna be showing it at shows and getting the name out at autocross and hopefully trackdays.
