I haven't put the car on a dyno since the valve job was done, only had TSP email a tune with another C5 using the same mods. The other car put down 412rwhp but you know every car is different, and Faermans said the new 5 angle would be good for at least 20 more hp. But then again we all know if it aint on a time slip or dyno sheet it's all guessing.

I'm pretty sure it's in the 425rwhp guess...maybe more-maybe less.

Thanks Mike, I'm kinda partial to it too now! The girlfriend was in the passenger seat last night and I got a little aggressive with it, and she swears the front end went airborne, but I know it didn't(She was just excited). It did break loose at each gear shift 1-2-3 and start sideways each time , BUT I thought the traction control was supposed to eliminate that. Maybe it did but after each shift I suppose.

I'm really impressed with the HP gains from stock, and only can imagine how much fun you guys have with 600-700+ hp.

Nice, I got the same cam going in my 2002 CETA as we speak. I went with a 110LSA, maybe mine will chop a little more than yours, but that chops pretty damn good with the 112 LSA. What springs did you go with the PAC singles?
