to turn 126 with factory untouched heads....again, its not that i dont believe you, its that there are hundreds of c5's with head cam package's that have been built with everything from trickflow, afr, etp, and every co that cnc the ls6 and ls1 heads that dont turn that mph....you quite possibly may be a bit dissapointed by bolting on a set of cnc'ed ls6 heads, spending a couple of grand and not gaining any hp...

I'm betting that 126 trap will come down significantly with a good set of tires. Spinning all the way down the track is a good way to inflate the trap speeds. All the Cartek and VD cars you compare this to are properly set up for the track which is reflected in the ETs they turn out.
