My Heads/Cam C5 Corvette Z06 Build in 16 Minutes 

Young folks like you with a "go get'em" attitude give me hope for the future. Great hot rod and keep up the great work!

that exhaust is the most beautiful sound ever

I remember in 03 when I spent a lot of time at gm dealers looking at these Z06s I couldn’t afford one then and couldn’t justify buying one later. Now they’re very affordable and I’m going to be buying one in a couple years to build with my son. He’s 11 now so we’ll have a couple years to make it badass. The wife didn’t agree with getting a teen a Corvette even an older one till I reminded her all the trouble I got into in sedans,SUVs, etc. only 2 seats so only 2 people in a Vette and it’s going to get attention from everyone including cops so he won’t be doing anything shady.

It's nice to see someone who cares about their car so much, and doesn't pay people to work on it. Good job and I enjoy your videos.

I purchased my first C5 3 years ago. After extensive research I found your videos to be the final confirmation that I needed one. I then moved on to a C5 FRC. Now I'm in a C6 Cam, heads car. Thank you for all of your videos and continued inspiration! I'd love to buy you a beer some day.

This is awesome. First time in a while that I’ve watched through a whole video this long.

Hey Jamal, stumbled on this vid today, you've got one hell of a nice car on your hands and it's clear you love it! You've done plenty of work and I wish you many miles of smiles with it :D

Well as long as you like them. Im a multi corvette owner. 2 show cars a 74 canary yellow 454 with ac 20k miles and a 2013 427 convertible special ordered with 405 miles on it. I have a 2000 c5 I drive everyday and play with. I am in the process of adding a 2017 zr1 3zr with 617 miles on to my collection.

he put so much into protecting his license plate, yet it was shown multiple times

Jamal, I loved this video. What makes it more special is that you built the car yourself and that you have such a positive outlook. Beautiful ride!

I had an ‘02 C5 convertible. I had a Vararam intake on it, a B&B Bullet exhaust w/4” round tips. I used to get on it in downtown San Francisco along with my cousin on his Harley with a Thunder header. We would menace the streets for a few minutes. I’d be in 1st and 2nd gear. The sounds would echo and reverberate off the faces of those old buildings. We had a ball.

Great vid man. Fun watching all the highlights since the beginning and watching you transform the car into what it is today. Now I need heads and leaning towards the same ones you got.

Literally my dream car. your car is the car i’ve been dreaming about since I was young man. i would do anything for it

yes, YOUR CAR is an awesome ride! Nice work.

I have always liked the c5/c6 Corvette body style ...

This is my dream car I just can’t decide if red or blue is my favorite!

AWESOME BUILD I JUST TRADED MY FORD FOCUS ST FOR A CORVETTE C5 VIDEO COMING NEXT WEEK 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥

Quite lucky w the broken valve spring failure. 😳 I had a track day in October ‘20 w my EBM Z06 w stock everything. Pulled it apart for a build so I can avoid that failure. 85k miles I guess I was pushing my luck 😅

The stock 243 heads are already pretty much the best for the ls6/ls1 platform they flow well up to 630hp. I wouldn't have swapped those out. I Have the base C5 LS1. I NEED a head upgrade lol

This thing looks like a MONSTER

Good call ditching the BB for a Corsa, sounds like a sports car again

Electron Blue, the most beautiful color ever!

Beautiful build, Jamal. Keep up the good work!

This is the textbook definition of "dropped a valve" !!!

Been following you since the beginning. You’ve come a long way! I sold my C5Z few years back. I’m glad i can still live thru you. Keep living the dream Jamal!

Duuude! Killer compilation. Now I need to build mine. Thank you brother 🙏🏻💯

Hey Jamal, I'm your neighbor across the street. I just picked up a 2004 Corvette Coupe. Come see it.

Jamal ,, Beautiful C5 ,, Love the new Wheels and tires ,there nothing cooler than working on your own car,Funny how you cover your License Plates because it’s impossible to trace a person by their plates ,, try it ,, I did. Love the LEDs BTW

I got lucky TWICE with valve springs breaking!

Nice work on your ride. I have an 04 same color but coupe. Next up for me is the exhaust.

10:25 what a difference

Damn now I have go get Corsa.

Really good looking car! I daily an Arctic white LS3 C6, but I would love to have a C5Z or a FRC

Incredible how time flys!! I can remember watching all those mod videos when they came out. Great video and always great content. Happy New Year to you and your family and look forward to see what you do next. Cheers!!!

Super nice C5....ENJOYED.

Wow. Great video. Beautiful Z06. Corsa exhaust with that cam ...omg! 😍

Dig the video.👍 Just don't go down the supercharger route due to mod addiction. I would move on to another platform or upgrade to a 630whp 427 if you must.

You’ve done a great job on this car Jamal- take it from an old Gearhead who’s lucky to still have kept his C5Z over 11 years, 46k miles later - hit me up whenever

Bought one of these new in 2002 and sold it in 2004 and miss it all the time.

Nice c5z, my favorite color for those cars also. Seems like a lot of oil for 1200 miles. My supercharged coyote doesn't produce that much in 5000 miles and they are known for needing a catch can.

Just picked up myself a c5. Your video encourages me to start adding things to it and build it. Nice video man!

My dream car

Watched the whole video, you had some serious fun with this car 😉 congratulations, beautiful and i bet a blast to drive.

Don’t own a corvette personally. However, I watched this video because I love them and you have an amazing channel. Definitely had to subscribe man keep up the good work.

Absolutely incredible. Phenomenal job with the car.

everyone goes with the quad tips exhaust, i think ill keep my duel to be different

This wheel tire combo is so good!

What an excellent video. I'm in the market for a C5 Z06, looking for videos showcasing heads, cams, and longtubes. Just trying to get a feel for what I'm in for and I stumbled upon this absolute gem. 👌

picking up my non-z06 c5 this saturday and this video has me hyped! This is an awesome vid and you seem like a genuine guy, thanks for sharing you journey with this car!!!

One thing I might add if I were you and that would be a short-shift kit. Makes the gear changes so much quicker, positive, and easier. Love the sound of the Corsa man! Good Job, Jamal! Wish I could see/hear that car in person!😎👍🏻😁

What an exciting journey

Loved this. Sweet car, sounds awesome and I love that you're doing it all at home/with friends. Jealous!

We just picked up a C5 Z. Were that a stock spring that failed? I read the yellow ones have a tendency to fail, but yours did not look to be the factory yellow springs.

Happened to me too bro. A lesser engine would be a replace. Dont crack your engine open until this happens guys. This is when you do the cam and heads on a vette. If you do the cam and heads before this it hurts more to open it twice. Might never happen but dont just add 75hp to a car with 150k on it. Ask me how i know

Dude I know the feeling my 03 electron blue car broke a spring and dropped a valve as well. Only had it two months

Awesome video man!! Really nice work. And this is an amazing car!!

As soon as these prices drop down I’m going to search for a blue c5 hopefully a z06 but we will see I sold my Focus ST to start saving money.

Crazy how far it’s come

That's cool @Jamal's Garage I also have a C5 I plan on doing a lot to it this winter.

OUTSTANDING video, Jamal! That was a very comprehensive overview of what you have done to your car. Looking forward to see what you'll do next. BTW, I own a white '99 Coupe. Wonderful car!

Really enjoyed this montage of footage, keep going with the upgrades

You are a really great guy, Jamal. Hope you have a terrific Corvette life Buddy!

Not a big fan of these RU-vid guys and their cars but this is my favorite channel so far.

Awesome build man, you remind me alot of myself when I first got into c5s! Keep it up!

I’m running CCW SP500 rims on my 03Z06 9” fr/ 11” rear

great job bro, i love it! definitely always wanted to do up a C5Z.. can't beat it for the price. god bless, see you in 21'

I definitely raced this on my bike with a yellow headlight one day on a back road of rockwall texas!

I love it! Awesome build. I gotta say I'm a bit jealous, lol. I've been wanting to buy a low mileage ZO6 and do similar. Pretty cool video. Pat yourself on the back, you have a sweet ride there buds! 👍

Corsa sport wooow

Awesome vid the car is siiiick

Real nice car, good work!!!

Enjoyed this very much! Subscribed.

I love it, man. Great job. Sounds deadly, and all the small mods add up just like the big ones do. Looks great

Sick video dude!!! Save the manuals!!!!!!!😎🤘

Awesome car and very well put together video!

Goals

Great looking car. Pretty similar to how I'd like to build my C5 Base.

Been watching your videos for years ! You have come a long way, looking mint!

My 03 Z06 says hi shes getting old but runs very strong at 187k miles

remember this about your 160 degree thermo.. the computer is looking for a certain TEMPERATURE for timing and fuel injection as well as idle, so remember this!

Amazing car, amazing video!

badass man really cool video reminds me of my c6z build keep it up

Beautiful build and nicely documented man, enjoy!

Liked the upgrades over time!!

Great work so far. Let's see where the future goes.
