Ran a cammed C5Z...
Ran a cammed C5Z... Earlier today I was heading home down I-10 from playing golf when out of nowhere I see a vette coming on very strong. He got in the lane next to me and let me know he wanted to play. As he got beside me I noticed it was a very sweet looking Z06. It was blue with black rims and a chrome lip, looked extremely clean. I downshifted and when he jumped I hit it pulling pretty decent.
He then signaled for me to exit so we could run with some room. As we were going under the overpass and slowed, I asked him what he had. He told me just a cam and bolt ons. I told him my mods and he chuckled and said he bit off more than he could chew, lol. I informed him it was a fresh motor and that I was running low boost (7-9lbs) as I haven't had it on the dyno yet.
We first went from a dig and I spun through second with him at my rear, hit third started pulling but missed 4th
We next went from a roll with me in third at almost 3k rpms. He honked it off and immediately he got a jump. As the boost kicked in I pulled even, hit 4th and stated pulling. I shut it down at the end of 4th with a few cars up.
We pulled over and chatted. He had an HPE 612 lift cam and said he made 440rwhp.. I told him I wasn't sure what I was making but most likely around 550rwhp.. I still have my 3.73 gears and it makes 1st-3rd not much fun as it raps out way too fast. He was a real cool cat with a very sweet ride.

Good Kill.
Seems like a pretty masty stang your rockin their. Buddy of mine has a nasty 4v TT GT. But hes going back NA haha.
Can we get a more detailed mod list? Just a lil curious on your setup.

Going na? I use to run be na with a 200 direct port shot. Na is pretty much a waste of time on the modulars.
Basically I just have a 5.0 stroker(sad really), bullit intake, houston performance heads/cams, aeromotive return style fuel system, and a homemade twin 60mm turbo setup. The car also has full suspension. It should make 650-700rwhp once I crank up the boost.

Sounds like you have a heck of a car there. I work in LaPorte, if you want to give another C5 a try let me know. I dont mind loosing but I just never seem to run across anyone that wants to run.

Procharger, headers, cam, built A4, and a stall, etc...
I have been driving it now and then trying to put some miles on the new motor and have had a couple oil changes so I think it is time for a good run. It is still stock cubes, I just had to forge it after a spring broke and the valve beat the **** out of the #8 piston.

Sweet setup. I should know tonight or tomorrow about an auto for mine. I think right now you have me outgunned but would still love to race. You just need to promise me a rematch once I get a tune and add some more boost.

Uhmmmm...What? Waste in what sense? Its not as easy as say an ls1 to make power but their VERY capable NA.
His plan is basically a BB 4.6 with 03-04 heads sullivan intake and Some big boy cams. Will lay somewhere over 400 to the wheels. Add in a steep gear and built solid....

Well I dont know about "out gunned". I have the dredded IRS so traction can be tricky. As for a rematch, anytime. I just want to see what she will do.
