hi, im new to the board but i have plenty of questions regarding my 2000 m6 c5 vette w/ 30k. i am currently bone stock, but i am about to get many mods which i need help in view of how my car will be. reliable? and how well it will take the new added power. here are the mods that i am about to add...

here are my questions...

1. will my stock c5 clutch be able to handle 4.10 gearing with 100 shot of dry nitrous? ( i know there are other mods, but they are not as major as these 2)

2. do i really have to change my spark plugs spraying 100shot dry 3-4 times a week on 4.10 gearing?

3. what is the average install cost on 4.10 gear box?

4. what is the max dry shot i can put on my car with stock plugs, fuel pump, clutch?

5. will my car be reliable with the mods listed above?

6. how much hp am i going to be lookin at?

7. how fast will i run in the 1/4? what kind of 60'?

i have researched alot and many people have told me i will b fine with the stock clutch and plugs but my tires will b gone pretty fast with that 100shot and 4.10s. they say with a 100 shot and 4.10 gearing i will b looking at mid to low 11 second 1/4 times.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> that is awesome ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> please give me your input on this matter..thanks!

On a conservative launch you should see low 12's around 115-116MPH.

 

Thanks! I appreciate your input! i might change my set up to a streetable cam with nitrous...will i have to upgrade my fuel pump?

How much nitrous? A stock fuel system can typically support 480-500 rwhp on a dry kit. If you are going with a wet-kit, you could probably make 550 rwhp or so with the stock fuel pump.

Too bad the gears(and carrier) are more than double that. You'll also need drag radials at the track at least, E.T. streets would be better though.
