Bolt-on performance
Oct 2014 Dyno
First post so hopefully picture and Dyno sheet included.
Another senior with mod fever. Would like some comments on progress to date and of course, helpful suggestions.
The engine, trans and diff are stock. Mods include:
LT Headers followed by full corsa exhaust
ported throttle body
A&A V3 supercharger
meth injection
Twin disk clutch
Supporting upgrades:
Brembo rotors with Hawk HP pads
Z51 sway bars and 2012 ZO6 shocks
325 30 x 19" Michelin tires with flared rear fenders
)Hopefully you will be able to see the dyno sheet but bottom line is 560 rwhp on a mustang Dyno)
Conservative tune by John Boos, Boos Performance - car runs beautifully, mild manner until I hit the go pedal. Problem - very difficult to hook up, especially in first gear. I know that the tires are not the best for hard starts. Thinking of going with a T6060 trans to have a longer first gear - maybe stickier rear tires but 99.99% of my driving is "normal", with a few heavy starts here and there.
Question: what would you expect this car to do in 1/4 mile (using a skilled driver, which I am not)
Thanks for your thoughts

What have you done to your suspension and drive train to help it handle all this new power. If you get stickey tires, you will pop the next WEAK LINK. That will mostlikely be the differential output shafts.
Here are a couple of linke fo you to check out:
- C5, ragtopws6 , Upgrading your C5 rear with C6 Z06 guts, : http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...-z06-guts.html

- C5, Its_Go_Time, Output Shaft Install - Left and Right: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...post1573407966
- C5 Differential Seal replacement: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...on-photos.html
What suspension do you have and how are your shocks?
