Nitrous ROCKS...
I was at Milan dragway yesterday watching the test and tune session when I noticed a C5 coupe make a pass then hit the brakes and light up the board with a 11.7 @ 109 mph, I was very impressed with this ET especially with the guy on the brakes, so I go over and talk to the guy, turns out he has heads/cam and a 100 shot of nitrous running on BFG drag radials with a 3.42 and he tells me that he is hitting the brakes so he won't get tossed off the track, then he proceeded to show me a 10.70 @ 129 mph timeslip.
Nitrous and C5's is a match made in heaven.

Hey Devil Dog. I was thinking about going myself. But am driving a Vert. Been told and have read that I need a roll bar or cage. Don't want to put my baby through that kind of surgery just run a few times down the track. Maybe I will just come down and watch. What days, times and how much.
thanks.
thanks.

That guy had a 150 shot and his last run was a 11.6 without hitting the brakes. That car is stupid fast. I had some long conversations with him and he will be coming out on the 25th of Sept to run with everyone. It will be cool to have a car running that much juice come out. It is going to be a unbeliveable night when all of these sick cars converge in one place and lay down some rubber.
I think we should name the 25th the "Corvette Fourm Motor City Meltdown"
P.S. Seeing that NO2 car has given me a few ideas, How do you think Twin Turbo's and nitrous would compliment each other. :lol: :lol:

Re: Nitrous ROCKS... (VETZILLA)
I wish I could get the local guy with the nitroused C5 to come to the track, but he is a serious money street racer and does not want his ET broadcast,but I can tell you he definitely has the fastest C5 around these parts and it is also a vert.

Re: Nitrous ROCKS... (bruce1)
The facts speak for themselves, nitrous is definitely the way to go with a C5.
Stock C5 w/nitrous=low 12-11 second car.
head/cam C5 w/nitrous=10 second car
stroker C5 w/nitrous=9 second car.

How much horsepower you guys getting to the rear wheels with te 150 shot. I got the NX express kit 150 and only got 100 rwhp increase and 146rwtq increase, sound about right? Used 62 n20 and 33 fuel jets with 6 degree retard on a 03'z06

Re: Nitrous ROCKS... (Devil Dog)
I was talking to a tuner yesterday about adding a small dry shot (50-75) with my Magnuson. I was going to do a cam and heads, but I think I'm going to go with nitrous instead. I'm not a kid anymore, so I figure I won't use it that often. Not only will it give me a little more horsepower, but it will also help to cool my intake temperature. To be honest, I'm a little concerned about getting by emissions here in IL with the cam and heads. I'
