Default 6 Speed nitrous C5 Corvette goes 9.65@149 NA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me9cU...e_gdata_player

We don't have the 9.6 pass on video, It turned out that that was the first pass off the trailer.

This is a long time build that we finally made a full NA pass with some decent results. Track wasn't there so you can see that in the 60 ft . The car is set up for nitrous so the 342 gear and 28 inch tall tire is killing us NA going thru traps in 3 rd gear . Got the NA tune straightened out some now its time for some nitrous

Thanks to RPM Transmissions for the trans and rear that can handle the abuse . and to Drive shaft Shop for the axles and prop shafts that don't break, Va Speed built us a great engine and Jesel valvetrain gave as the parts to rev this thing over 8500 Rpms

But anyways what kinda power does that vette put down? What cubic inch? How much NOS(sorry lol) are you planing to spray on it?

Congrats guys! It looks and sounds viscous going down the track. I hope to see it run in person before the season ends.

man if you could have gotten a better run on that last one, it would have been way quicker, that was a nasty launch.

By the constant jacking it up, I'm guessing you have a slipper clutch in it? How quickly do you plan on putting nitrous to it?
