Hey Chris,
Great results. You are going to have way too much fun trying to lay the power down. Hope you get her back soon. I am glad that it all worked out for you in the end.
AS far as temperatures go, with the APS kit running and the outside temperature at 105 degrees, my coolent temp got up to 192 and the oil temp got up to 202 in stop and go traffic. You are running a little more boost than I am but I think you should be ok.

Yeah I dont see it having any cooling issues unless its bad traffic, which we dont have to much of in Shreveport.

Just got it off the trailer and drove it down the street.
Oh my sweet baby Jesus I love it. It so much more "Tame" than the H/C car. I can actually have a conversation in it now with a **** ton more power.
Two thumbs up for Taylor and his Crew at Dallas Performance. I couldnt have asked for a better group of guys to finish this project up for me.

I have always found it easyist to drop the front fascia over the top center support lip and then guide it into the fenders and slip the bottom into place.
It really helps when there is two of you.

Everyone seems to be running meth or water or alchy injection of some sort. What type of power can these cars make on pump with none of these? I really thought these big engines would make more. (i'm from the turbo 4cyl world)

Your (4) cylinder world cars make make big HP number but they lack torque which is the real driving force.

The OP's car in question is badass, dont get me wrong. I love v8's and I love turbos, so naturally my dream car is going to be a turbo V8.
I was just curious if people have made big numbers w/o the alchy/water/meth injection. I'd prefer a simpler setup for myself. If i'm hijacking this thread i'll

I wouldn't say they lack torque. I'd agree they lack low end torque, but once the turbo(s) spool....

I'm sure somebody could put down 1500 rwhp but then they would need a street sweeper to follow after them to collect the parts.
If you want a pure drag car that is a different story. Get the car back-halfed and throw in a powerglide and cage.
No way you could hook up big HP on the street anyway. Too many guys on here thing that bigger is better etc....
Have you ever been behind the wheel of 600 rwhp car ? You can't use it on the street and if you do, you'll end up in jail or dead.

Your 4 poppers are runing 30 - 40 pounds of boost. C5's don't have solid axles and aren't made to handle big amount of power without some radical amount of drive line modifications.

In My Opinion, for a street car, anything more than 600whp is a "big number." So I was curious if people make this power w/o meth etc. I'll try to make this my last reply in this thread, as I dont want to Hijack a perfectly good car thread

We do this daily. Meth is just some extra insurance. You don't need it to make 750/850 or even 1000rwhp in these cars but you can push it further with out detonation in the summer heat.

Thanks guys It truly is an amazing car to drive.
I got the bumper on. I think it was a little difficult fitment wise because it has been in the A/C for months which would probably cause it to shrink a little bit and the fact that its not OEM. We made it work
