Default C5 Vert is ready (legal) for some 10's (w/pics)

Last spring before our local track shut down, the car hit the 10's with the N/A 430. I was politely told to keep it above 11.5. So over the last few weeks Horsepower Sales of Pompano helped me get legal and added a little juice for good measure. Here are a few shots of the great work by Jeremy, Tim, Jonnathan and Roger of Horsepower Sales.

Very nice setup.

I have a Nitro Dave kit plate kit too (78mm). I love the NOS LCD controller, I was thinking about getting one for myself.

How do you like it so far?

Love the setup and the look of the car. Not crazy about that hood badge though.

Post new times when you get them.

Gorgeous setup! I love it! Can you give us some details on the nitrous setup? I was planning on going H/C/I and then a little nitrous but to be honest the vids on youtube of vettes blowing up really squashed my enthusiasm for that.

Edgar, would love to go up north next season and run with you "fast" guys!!

Tahoe, I was also concerned about the safety of nitrous on a steet/strip car. I chose to use the NOS Launcher due to its ability to tap into a wideband which will shut down the system if I go too lean or too rich - that is about as safe as you can get.

I think I have seen you on the street. Where in Lake Worth are you, just curious because I am in Lake Worth as well.
