Boost questions
Just sold my Vette and I'm in the market for a boosted C5.
Maybe you can help me make a good decision.
1. What is the HP/TRQ limit for a stock bottom end?
2. What is the HP/TRQ limit for a stock drive train (trans, clutch, rear end, half shafts, etc.) and what are the necessary mods when that is exceeded? Please comment on both 6 speed and automatic.
3. Are there any inherant problems with meth/alcohal injection?
4. If you were buying a boosted C5, what key factors would you be looking for?
5. Are there any shops in or near Michigan that would be a good go to if I encounter problems?

Maybe you can hekp me make a good decision.
1. What is the HP/TRQ limit for a stock bottom end? 550/500 seems to be the consensus. Some have ran more, but it is all in the tune.
2. What is the HP/TRQ limit for a stock drive train (trans, clutch, rear end, half shafts, etc.) and what are the necessary mods when that is exceeded? Please comment on both 6 speed and automatic. Depends what you are doing with teh car. Drag racing and sticky tires can break shafts at stock HP levels.
3. Are there any inherant problems with meth/alcohal injection? None that I know of, lots of guys are using it.
4. If you were buying a boosted C5, what key factors would you be looking for? Reputable kit, ECA, A&A, etc.

What are you plans with the car? Drag racing, road racing, cruiser, etc. This will help determine what kind of SC to look for.
