To get the same trap speed, you don't need to do much of anything (couple bolt-ons), may hit it stock. To get that ET though, you will need full bolt-ons and/or a cam & gears, or heads/cam. Don't know what rear your C5 has, 3.15 or 2.73? Converter is a must too. You can probably hit the ET with bolt-ons and 3500 stall (if you have 3.15 rear).

Lots of combos can get you there, depending on what else you want to do with the car. Gear changes lower top speed/mileage, etc. If you don't want to tear into the motor, you can go rockers, 90/90 and get your ET.

Hopefully you can find some good references on the forum to point you in the direction you want to go.

LT headers system to include high flow cats 1st. 3:42 gear change 2nd, then Heads Cam 3rd. DR's and a cold air will be a must also.

I managed a 12.2 with only LT's and DR's, but I have a MN6 car.

I am sure someone will chime in soon and suggest a 125 shot of nitous, which will work too.

long tube headers
depending on where you live, I would go with no cats, that money you saved can go towards a convertor.
stall convertor-stock internals, 3500-3800 stall and trans cooler
CAI and LS6 intake and ported TB
set of nittos or m/t et street radials
also rear gears-if 2.73's go with a 3.15 or 3.42 and get a DTE trans brace
tune

or just put in a convertor and 100 shot of spray.

Thanks guys, I only have dealt with turbo cars in the past. And what is the best air intake to get, along with what is the best exhaust. And is the diablo sport worth getting? And how would i tell what gears it has?
