Default Dyno & track results

Been putting my '98 C5 manual to the test lately

So far I have a vararam and a catback for go fast mods.

I was surprised how much it put down on the dyno. The stock tune was pretty close, so I just changed a couple small things for 325hp & 339 ft/lbs tq SAE.



Then I went to the 1/8th mile track. The best I could do with it before was an 8.6, I guess I am learning to drive it a lot better because I turned a 8.3 tonight. Time for some drag radials.


Here's the whole rundown. Don't mind my shitty reaction time, I usually run a full tree. When I pulled up it was a pro tree. The lights were lit & gone and I was like oh shitI need to go!! I made up for it later with an .009 light.

r/t ----------- .711
60'----------- 1.942
330'---------- 5.518
1/8th mile ---- 8.389
MPH --------- 86.323

Nice dyno curves too, very smooth and broad. So, how many boys at the track asked you if it was your car or a boyfriend's car?

1.9 60' times aren't bad for non-drag radials.

Getting a plate that says MS. FIXIT has substantially cut down on the number of people who ask.
