Ya, we've got a guy over here in St. Louis with a TT C5 too.....damn things. Lightweight car making a bunch of power equals quick ET's. Who prepped your buddys C5?

Read your latest Marc.......your a sick, sick, man. LOL! That crank is friggin beautiful. Zero balance I assume? So what kind of power are you looking for with the new combo? Any idea when you'll be ready for a pass over at GIR? Sorry for all the questions, but I like to keep tabs on a few of the local guys with the nice rides. Good luck with it all.

Yes, zero-balance as before, but 12 lbs lighter than last year's. Well, you know I have been pushing the hydraulic cam envelope with this thing and I see no real reason to stop now. Jim Kuntz told me he thinks I'm leaving 25 peak crank hp on the table by not using a solid. Rick and I have another (crazy) hydraulic we are going to test back-to-back with last year's cam.

I would like to optimize my setup with the hydraulic cam this year. Have put Ti exhaust valves in the Kuntz TFS-R heads and going with T&D shaft rockers. Will plan on shifting at 8,800 I think. Hope to go 9.30's with this new 360 in good weather. Hope to have the shortblock in a few weeks but you know how that goes.

As far as power goes, not sure. It will be over the 550rwhp from last year for sure. Maybe close to 600? I don't like making predictions, but that would be cool.

Thanks for asking.

A.E. tech built the motor in it. its a PTK (now pts) turbo kit and the car was put together and tuned by him with a few friends there to help. it should be doing low 9s this year!!!


how much does your car weight???? im doing a new set-up this year and im trying to get an idea of how fast it will go.
thanks

Wow the C5 is one of my fav cars ever. SO even if I ran a 9 sec id get kicked out for not having the proper gear.
