How should I look to fair against stock C5 with my new mod?
How should I look to fair against stock C5 with my new mod?
I have a 4lb pulley along with JDM agressive chip, air raid filter, boost bypass and Tr6 plugs... I just got the 4lber...Not knocking the new covettes, I love them, but just a few around my area think they are tops...I just been having this itch to run one from a stop and beat it...What would possibly be the turn out through say a 1/4 mile run now that I have a pulley?
A regular C5? You should do pretty well. 
I would say that your mods should put you into the 12's, which is quicker than a stock C5.
Just think, you'd even give a Z06 a run for its money. You'd lose, but you'd definately surprise the guy

If you launch well and he is truly stock, should be a good race. If he has a manual trans it will be his race to win or lose, depending on his skill. If he has an auto with the stock 2.73:1 rear gear you should beat him. If he has the 3.15 gear it will be close. With my mods and a mild chip tune I can take stock C5's, but most are like us and don't leave them stock for long. I also have a heads/cam, etc, etc C5 and my truck WILL NOT hang with it. Good luck and enjoy the ride, either way.
Ok sounds good to me guys..Thanks for the replies.. Just wanted to get some idea of what a run with one of americas top supercars would be like with my 4lber..I think from a thread a while back some guy on here blew a viper away
...Now thats some power..
Again thanks
Now I can't wait to bump into my first stock C5 whose willing to go at a run from dead stop

Knock on wood, I havent lost to a vette yet! ZO6 or otherwise!
I still respect them though, because you never know what may be lurking under the hood.
I dont fear stock Vipers neither. Not sure about the new 500 HP one's that just come out, they may be a different story. But Im the one that ran a 2000 GTS from a 60 roll no less and got him!
Im the reason he has modded that Viper to hell now, including NOS. LOL! Dont think I could do much with him next time. Ill run Viper's and Vette's from a dig or 60 roll up to about 110 or so and get out of it. I have no illusions who would win on the top end. We can put all the power we want into these trucks, but they're still trucks with the aerodynamics of a brick.
