Finaly!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally!

I have been on LS1 Tech for a little while now, mostly reading and trying to learn what I could. Well I am part of the forced induction side now.
I have a 2004 C5 that I bought used last year, and it was completely stock. Over the last year have been modding my car as I could afford it.
I started with Kooks LTs HF cats and a Magnaflow axle back with some cut outs just for fun. Then did a mild blower cam, (218-228 .600 lift 116) double roller timing chain and ported oil pump (G Force Cam Special).
Well last week I had G Force install my used A&A P1SC. There were a few problems along the way, mostly from my not knowing enough about FI to keep myself out of trouble.
But after all said and done everything is working great and I am very happy with the car. It put down 575 HP and 505 TQ. I was thrilled to see that! Now I have to do some driveline and suspension work ASAP.
The car still has 273 gears and stock A4 Trans, and I know that won’t last too long.

G Force did a great job, and answered all my dumb questions, so I just wanted to say thanks to them.

Sounds like it runs strong. The G-Force crew are some good guys. Nice vette also, Spiral Gray is one of my favorite colors on the C5.

Nice numbers and welcome to the Forced Induction side of the house. And for sure the stock tranny will die very soon. I promise.

Does it have a tranny cooler. Maybe you could prolong the death haha.

Sounds awesome and maybe youll get lucky like the ONE other guy on here that has a stock 4L60E and is running 10.8s I think. Hes running a blower too.
