I'd like to see at least 700/700 Mike, then I'll drop in the 2.95 pulley and let that S-trim scream!!!!!!!
I just don't want to replace the Spec 3+ before it's even broken in!
Finished up the new 4" inlet pipe today with the threaded IAT sensor, just gotta modify the rad shroud and install the double pumpers so I can start laying into it.

Long story short...
After Arun finished my blower install last year I drove the car back home and had a blast with it. I live in a relatively small town and word got out that there was a C5 with a blower
. Well....they had a local car shop with a dyno brought in so people could see what their cars would dyno. They asked me to bring my car up so people could see and hear the car. Only problem is when they backed the brake off the dyno it didn't disengage
You could smell something burning....anyway....making this story as short as possible...there was so much load on the engine of my car that I blew out 3 O rings on the pistons....
So Arun and I decided on a new 402 !
Here is the damage
