Stock C5 FRC testing on 20psi The Turbo-Geist made an appearance last night for the friday night street night in evadale TX. Drove the car 35miles, hit the tech-in, and went straight to staging lanes. Had plans to turn up the wick as he planned to line up with a nasty 2012 TVS 5.0 auto car later in the evening. That race didnt happen due to a bad motorcycle accident oiling down the track. Never the less the C5 vette is continuing to display insane amount of MPH in the 1/4 as the car is inching towards the 150 mark. With the 80+ temps and 100% humidity the car easily hit 146mph spinning in 3rd and 4th gears.
Tiago, thanks for the compliment, it means a lot.
Sorry about that. This was my username here on tech and corral.net from when I had a 93 mustang. I have always mainly lurked here and gained a whole lot of information from the board. LS1tech is a great place, but I haven't posted much here. I do most of my posting in the FI section of corvette forum as Turbo-Geist.

The video above was on a street night and the starting line was the only part of the track that had good prep. I was testing it out at 20 psi to see what it would do. It felt really good even though the tune is rich and I'm trying to decide if I want to dial it in some more or not. I've had a lot of relatively cheap fun with the stock parts and know that the next stage could get expensive if I decide to really step things up.
Here's a video from a track rental at Royal Purple Raceway. This is at 18 psi, with 93 octane and meth injection. This was the first 9 second pass for this combo.
