Default 1st race with a c5 and my 408

I have had the motor in the car since the summer, and runs like a champ thanks to the guys at at hpe. My 1st race was with a 5.0 with a 175 shot, I did loose that one due to a fan belt broke rigth after I left the line.

Anyway..The ride home from work, I had a black c5 riding my a$$, soon as trafic cleared he pulled next to me. I flipped open my cutout, and left the car in 2nd (40mph), He rolled down his window and put three fingers up and started to count down. On one, I nailed it, I pulled on him hard and I do mean hard! After 3 runs, he gave up while I had about 7 cars on him all motor (no spray)

Its hard to find anyone that wants to run in this area, even if my girlfriend drives! This cam is a beast, spanking the tech at 7400 rpm!

I bet when you opened the cutout it kinda set the tone...


Sounds like a beast.

Not really sure. I will findout here in the spring though, guessing at deep 10's with spray.

Yeah, his face was pricless when I cracked her open, even worse when I passed him like he was setting still.

Nice, I abandoned my QTEC in light of true duals and never looked back. I still remember the looks on people's faces when my car went from tame to beast.

Nice Z, Joe. Have any more pics of it?

When I get out of school I am getting a C5 Z06 and throwing in a 427...maybe an LS7...and you better believe I will turbo the hell out of it!

havent had it on the dyno, but I can put a few car lengths on the new cobras with the pulley option. I wona guess high 400's to low 500's. The motor is setup for na, but it seems to like nitrous though..cant figure that one out yet

I dont have any more pics as of yet, but i do have a vid clip of it at idle and a few revs on the cutout. I emailed ls1sounds to host the vid, so I hope it will be on there soon!

Just dont pull next to me in that turbo 427, it would be like 2 pro mods going at it! lol
