Default Bolt on C5 vs 02 Fbody



Some Videos I haven't had the opportunity to post. I am generally pretty laid back and just let people come to me with races. These two are different races (dig and 20 roll) of a 02 Z and a C5. The Z has 228r cam (pushrods, valvesprings, oil pump, ect) and is otherwise stock. 372 rwhp through a T-56. The vette has full bolt ons through an A4. The vette driver insisted that since his car was lighter, he'd easily win. I just went along with it with my "V6" badge on my rear decklid (stock exhaust helped my case). Only thing to note is that I was dealing with clutch issues so if you listen you can hear the shifts taking forever due to the pedal sticking and locking me out of gear. Towards the end of one video its really bad and he catches back up. Take a look. How was my car running?

Nice kill, get that clutch fixed and see how you fare afterwards.

Thanks man! This was about a year ago. Since then I've overhauled the Clutch crap with an LS7 clutch, Tick master, new slave, pilot bearing, and flywheel. So much better to shift with the MGW. I also did a full exhaust but no induction yet.

Being that you have a cam and he doesn't he won't have a prayer at all once you fix your issue

Haha this cracked me up!

I fixed it and added another 30 wheel hp.

Wonder how much more I'd pick up with a 100mm MAF, 104mm lid and tune.
