2 mph
So I finally got the Vette to the dragstrip last night. I went to Bandimere Raceway here in the Denver area. Bandimere is at an altitude of 5,800 feet.
My C5 is basically stock. The only mods it has are a Blackwing intake and a Z06 titanium axle-back exhaust. I made 4 runs that ranged between 14.886 and 14.635. The highest speed I hit was 98.05 MPH and the lowest was 96.71 MPH. Since I can't afford expensive mods, I'm looking for advice on something I can do to get the extra 2 MPH to break 100 MPH. After that, the next goal will be 13.99.
I'd like to stay below $350 to get to 100. What kinds of mods will get me there?
Thanks!
