You sir are absolutely correct. 99.9% of C5's that are basically stock make right around 290-300 RWHP. Then you get these #'s and you know there's something 
going on.But what the he$$, if that makes the owners happy, great. As they say, ignorance is bliss.
My guess is that at the drag strip thes mega HP cars will run about the same, or slower, than all the rest. But we'll never hear that.
Ain't bench racing great?

I went to the 1/8th mile tonight, I am SO FREAKING STOKED...
I ran a 8.3 @ 86.3 mph with a 1.94 60' on street tires...
Maybe it's just me, but I think that is a pretty damn good time for a vararam & catback...

I have everything here at the house that you could want to tune with. HPtuners, EFIlive, tunercat, etc. I prefer EFIlive, I just don't think anything can beat it. The built in scantool is so awesome, it is so painless to use. What I really love about it is if I scan a run at the track and i see something I don't like in the scan, I highlight the graph and on the tuning side of EFIlive, it highlights all of the cells in which that problem is occuring. It doesn't get any easier than that!!
