Most stock C-5 run low 13's high 12's.
They were never a problem for me running mid 12.s.
The big problems with the C5 is that most don't have enough rear end gearing.

Thats awesome, because I can't quite hang with the big boys yet :jester, I am just short of a torque converter. Even when I race LS-1 Camaro SS's, I beat them off the line, but they catch up quickly. I want to be able to smoke LS-1 Camaro SS's/Trans-Am Ram Air's and C5's!!!! :D

Just copy my old set up (panuzzo did) and you too can run mid 12's.
