Default Stock C5 FRC testing on 20psi

The Turbo-Geist made an appearance last night for the friday night street night in evadale TX. Drove the car 35miles, hit the tech-in, and went straight to staging lanes. Had plans to turn up the wick as he planned to line up with a nasty 2012 TVS 5.0 auto car later in the evening. That race didnt happen due to a bad motorcycle accident oiling down the track. Never the less the C5 vette is continuing to display insane amount of MPH in the 1/4 as the car is inching towards the 150 mark. With the 80+ temps and 100% humidity the car easily hit 146mph spinning in 3rd and 4th gears.

Sorry about that. This was my username here on tech and corral.net from when I had a 93 mustang. I have always mainly lurked here and gained a whole lot of information from the board. LS1tech is a great place, but I haven't posted much here. I do most of my posting in the FI section of corvette forum as Turbo-Geist.

Here's the basic mod list on the car, It's normally on 18 psi and 93 octane plus meth. The video above was on 20 psi and 5 gallons of VP110 mixed with 93 octane plus meth.

Mod List
•Original 85k mile LS1
•2.5 Bar SD Tune
•TTiX kit with 57mm turbos @ 18 psi
•LS6 intake, 220/224 Pat G cam, Comp 918 Springs, hardened pushrods
•ID1000's, Racetronix 255 intank, KB BAP, 98 rails, rail mounted regulator and -6an return line
•93 octane and Snow Dual nozzle meth kit with 100% VP M1
•Stock MN6 transmission and 3.42 Rear Differential
•B&M shifter, McLeod RXT Twin Clutch, Aluminum flywheel, DSS carbon shaft, DTE brace, Hardened output shafts
•Corsa Full Ti Exhaust

The video above was on a street night and the starting line was the only part of the track that had good prep. I was testing it out at 20 psi to see what it would do. It felt really good even though the tune is rich and I'm trying to decide if I want to dial it in some more or not. I've had a lot of relatively cheap fun with the stock parts and know that the next stage could get expensive if I decide to really step things up.

Here's a video from a track rental at Royal Purple Raceway. This is at 18 psi, with 93 octane and meth injection. This was the first 9 second pass for this combo.
