OT My C5 is in Car & Driver...

Page 80, I think.. Kinda neat, imho,,,. It was faster than any of the other modded vett's they Tested in the October issue including LPE's TT and some others.. The test was with street tires, It has run in the high 10's N/A..@126-127.... on E/T streets

The Yukon is running but not completed yet... The 5.7ls1 motor is in and runs strong, but I have a Eaton ordered for it. It should be solidly into the 12's with the blower and the juice.. Because of the weight of the Yukon I don't think anything better than 12's are possible without exceeding my performance budget for this rig.

As far as my Lighting goes I haven't decided yet to mod it or sell it.. Casey is ready to dig into it but I haven't ordered all the parts yet.. just have to wait and see.. What mods are you planning? I am amazed at how well the Lightnings are holding together with some very serious boost!! And a couple of guys on this forum are running 11's without Nitrous.. very

CrazyFoo___ Your truck looks great! I really like that grill..

But im in the process of buying a house in Gods county (wisconsin)so it will be on the back burner for a few months.Also want to bullit proof the tranny before i get to caried away.
