The Total COST of my Heads/Cam C5 Corvette Z06 Build

[@Corvetteran88]

I’d say you did pretty damn good on your budget. You have all quality parts and you saved a ton getting nice used parts

[@dphitch]

Well, you're not going to get a decent C5Z these days for 15K you did real well all the way around on this project.

[@Njigbas-in-paris]

I literally just did last month in socal. 14.8k for an 02 C5z with 92k. All stock, good paint and interior. Gotta be patient, set up alerts for used car postings, and be ready to buy very quickly.

[@lukeciarallo5419]

@@Njigbas-in-paris I can’t even find a base model for less than 14k in Pennsylvania

[@Njigbas-in-paris]

@@lukeciarallo5419 I probably had some luck on my side no doubt lol. But if you're patient you can find a clean C5 for 15kish

[@johnnycruz117]

@@Njigbas-in-paris theres one in my area with only 7kmiles all stock and they want 25k. car is basically brand new. garage kept. im thinking really hard on it lol

[@melxin.6669]

@@johnnycruz117 do it !!!

[@toozicon]

30K for that kind of performance and better looks than 90%of whats out there. You did awesome!!!

[@camonly849]

13k isn't bad at all with all the mods. You definitely saved a lot going the used route!! And having some buddy's help you. Badass looking Z!

[@1859ddd]

Bro a full set of CCW Classics for sub $2000 is an absolute steal. A full set today new will cost you $5000-$6000 just for the wheels. I’m super jealous man. CCW classics are my favorite wheel but I can’t justify 6k for some wheels when it’s a track car that I’m going to beat the heck out of.

[@travischudy2251]

I got a c5 that I’ve thrown new heads, exhaust, cam, LEDS all around, and many other cosmetics inside and out, that have definitely cost me a big penny. All because I’ve seen all your videos which have inspired me greatly. So, thanks for the awesome vids but also hate you for making me spend way more than I should! Currently pushing 470hp and 430lbs/ft at the crank and NEED more!

[@1320_ralph]

youre making 470 crank from heads cam and headers?

[@Recklessfireblade]

@@1320_ralph I’m thinking the same thing lol…something ain’t right

[@deeznutzz101]

Facts!

[@ratjng5604]

a big shiny penny nd a lot of words mom won’t like but puts a smile on your face😂

[@deeznutzz101]

@@1320_ralph 470 crank = around 390-405 to the wheels.

[@tortuga34]

Awesome car, perfect build. Great combination of power and reliability. Those wheels are🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MS-mr4zm]

My 03 C5Z build is up to about $65-$70k….including the $24.5k I paid for it, but my car has a built/blueprinted engine, custom cut blower pistons, stage 2 BTR blower cam, MgW shifter w/ lower box, ARH catless headers into corsa extreme, custom valved bilstein shocks, al tunnel plate, carbon fiber torque tube, tint, LED tail & headlights, A&A vortech T3 blower, removed the hood insulation painted hood satin black, powdercoated stock wheels, painted the center caps, full dynamat interior, pioneer deck w/ Bluetooth audio, JL audio 10” sub w/ custom enclosure, 2x500watt JL audio amps & JL audio speakers front/rear. DBA brakes/hawk pads, rebuilt stock calipers w/ new pistons/seals/paint, Russell SS lines, I dunno what else I can’t even remember it all….but I DONT have a FAST intake yet lol😂😂😂😂 I have a McLeod RXT twin disc ceramic clutch w/ the speed bleeder too & dual nozzle meth injection

[@haromaster6086]

unbelievable sick C5 Z06! The way I'd build it too. well done.

[@MF-Rell]

That really isn't that bad bro, I been with thru the whole Journey. Still looking better than ever! You inspired me to get mine. 😎💯

[@direravenext3815]

I do a lot of canyon driving with friends from around Texas and up north. Go to tail of the dragon, twin sisters in Texas etc. but I’m always a passenger, hopefully within the year I’ll have a c5, of course it won’t be a Porsche or 488 like some of the guys in the group but man I know they are fun. Have been watching since you got this when I was like 16, a lot has changed and it’s great to see you still upload.

[@timteevin4517]

I agree completely with timburris below. Great looking car. Quality parts for used prices. Someone else said you can't get a nice c5z for 15 nowadays. He's right. I've been looking, around here they're more like 25. Stock. That's how much our $ has depreciated. 😔

[@Makeup_educator718]

Another great video as always👏🏽

[@colemcmeans7809]

not bad at all, lots of good stuff you have in it. even around that time low mileage all stock cars were going for 20-26k or more.

[@LowStyleMac]

It’s nice kinda wanna get one when I get back to the states next year

[@VetteDaily]

Good to see ya again brotha! Looking forward to upgrading my HVAC to the blue LEDs thanks for making that video!!!

[@ChanceLaChapelle]

Honestly this is really impressive... 13k for a build like that is awesome. She's a beast brother.

[@35057]

Man… you got a screaming deal on most of that stuff! 😳😳😳. Shit, 13k isn’t terrible. I spent over 26k on my last car I heavily modded, Got my c5z in great shape for a great price also. 😁😁 You gotta get some coilovers tho. Ride is amazing, just so planted in the turns and bumps in turns don’t upset the car anymore.

[@JamalsGarage]

Thanks man, I'm just a cheap ass at the end of the day LOL....What coilovers did you go with?

[@35057]

Bc coils. Complete changed the car. Doesn’t get upset in turns anymore. And for some reason I’ve responded a couple times and it keeps getting deleted. 🤔 I just won’t give my insta name this time. Maybe that’s it.

[@jesusvazquez3806]

You’re an amazing host, love your attitude, and I subscribed to follow your journey doing the coolest stuff with a smile. Keep up the great work!🔥🔥

[@williamdoody]

$13,000 is a lot of money… until you get into off-road cars then your like only 20k for my front suspension, What a steal. I’m about to buy a c5 only due to the fact it’s cheap to modify and looks good

[@r.arodriquez4392]

Thanks for the video, I love your car 🚗 I’m looking for a C5 vette

[@kg1966]

Very nice and thanks for all the info you shared.

Jamal, I was thinking about getting those ccw wheels. Did yoy get a killer deal or is that what i should expect to pay for a used set? Car looks great man!

[@JamalsGarage]

I got a killer deal on them. I haven’t been able to find a set as cheap again

[@drwright7]

Smart build!

$600 to install a clutch and headers is a steal of a lifetime

She's a 2001 with 34.000km on her so I'm not interested in a new one, BECAUSE I LIKE THE ELEMENTS OF SUPRISE WHEN PEOPLE WANA TEST MY BEAST!...💖💪🚩

Car is worth 30k all day long (at least) So your money was spent well

[@JerkVegas86]

3 years ago they were going for 18-20k

[@djlouie2836]

$10 for two leds 😮!! You definitely over spend on some things, those led cost $1 for both , I have a feeling you just search C5 corvette leds instead of searching up the bulb type in leds , just some advice for people out there ,

[@peytonponder8488]

Radar for 20??

[@JamalsGarage]

No, just for the direct wire kit. Does not include the price of the actual detector

[@fast02gt]

You bought the car for 14k what..

[@BlackrainOrdinance]

Sell it to me

[@loganbarker328]

You got ccw classics for 1400$ 😦

Yea but another $600 to make them right
