Nope....non all motor...this is the 1st.....SW was the 1st C5 w/his Black MTI 427 Superstroker and a 200 shot. But this was 1 1/2 yrs ago....a lot of learning about the LSX motors have happened since.

But Like I said....CONGRATS GUYS THAT CAR SOUNDS LIKE A FRIGGIN BEAST!!

I have alot of info on this KING OF HILL N/A Auto tranny C5. It is Cartek built and owned by the proud man, MIKE out of New Jersey, who is a HARDCORE DRAG RACER and goes by the name Stealth C5 on the forum. The most impressive thing is that this car just made 556rwhp and 530+ torque through its A4 Rossler Built tranny with 3.90 gears and 11:5 compression (pump gas if you want) with a hyd. cam which is not that LARGE at all. It is a perfectly squared C5R motor (Cartek stage 5 LS6 heads) 4.125 bore and stroke (441cid) and its an FRC recently converted from its m6 tranny to the rossler A4. The car trapped at over 136 mph and is so fast that it has to shift into 4th gear on the top end and still clicked off it 9.985. Also, this is done with a lil old 3600 stalled N20 converter and the car certainly has another couple tenths in it.

This beast runs the new Kooks 1 7/8 headers, LSx90mm intake and TPIS 90 mm throttle body (the exact same upgrades that my 427 C5R based Z07 motor is getting in the very near future! A HUGE CONGRATS TO MIKE AND CARTEK on owning and building the KING OF THE HILL N/A C5 which could be used as a daily driver and clicks off lowwww 10 sec ets and high 9s all day long!!!! Was that enuff info for you guys to wet your whistles for a short time!!!!
