If you take off the water pump and block off the outlets, you can run a shorter belt for less drag and some more mpgs.

I'm sure everyone will agree that we are all in the forced induction section because we care about our mpg's.

I’m sure if your driving for work you would like to make the most out It. Hey I’m stingy that’s my 2k forged pistons flying out the tailpipe for what reason? All that extra cash we could have conserved lol! In the exchange for snarling revs and 3rd fear pulls 60-130 in 2.4 secs flat hahaha! ***** when you hit 4th at 165-175! Wtf u just switch gears ! The guy replied with 2 grunts that’s says your machine is a P***Y lol ! Anything past 80 or so and your begging to get a ticket! Although I do agree with your sarcasm!

I believe the record standing is 259.96 set by a Lamborghini! The fastest c5 ran 246 1/2mile speeds.

What C5 went 246? To my knowledge the fastest C5 is Charlie from LSXperts who went somewhere around 224

He's probably thinking of Morris Malone going 239 in his C6. Speedy gets confused often.

No it was a c5! Also a guy by Jared had a set a 1/4 190 in 7.806 stick shift driven.


Which brings me to my next weird plenum intake idea. Btr equalizer ....anyone ever really checked it out? I was thinking under the middle part inside one could weld in or tap /bolt in cathedral port spacers in that section to help tighten the draw and get back. your low end.

Jared is pretty well known to the drag guys. That 7.80 is actually second to Garret now as far as C5 stick shift cars go

So you want to introduce more restriction to the runners? I don't see the point considering the other end of the BTR intake runners is already cathedral since the rectangle port version isn't out yet

The Btr is a 2-piece the air flowing in will not be obstructed in the top portion. My idea is to add draw or vacuum power back as the ports seems a little excessive inside the top then port match the heads and spacers so the air formation is all uniform! Hopefully if the project takes place adding a slight restriction in the right place will do some good!
