You got 15 HP from stock heads to Stage II heads and you already had the cam?
Stage II heads have 2.02/1.57 stainless valves, more agressive porting and titanium retainers.. The Street Eliminator heads were basically stock heads and valves with some porting work done..

Vince, running in the eleven's does feel good. The first time out after H/C didn't make it, but the second time we arrived...am looking for mid elevens now with the cooler air. Good luck with your car and have fun. It still amazes me that we can have a daily driver car in the eleven's...

Re: Hey 11's ...I'm comin'!! (vstella)
hey Vince, Sorry to be a little OT, but I would really like to meet with you one time and discuss the pros and cons of a buying/modding a C5.
I've talked to you via email on a couple of occasions... you may remember...I was gonna meet you at Moroso once. I have a 94 Supra turbo 6spd. I am seriously concidering buying a C5, but I really want to talk to someone in person who knows alot about modding them. I test drove one the other day, and I was quite impressed.
my email is mtx5000@ureach.com
Thanks
-Steve

Say a little prayer for Vince....
Track was a steam bath. 85 and about 90% humidity... :(
His 1st run was a 12.00 FLAT. I was 2 cars behind him and I had to laugh... sorry Vince..I am gonna call you the Susan Lucci of the track.. :D
We got 4 runs in each before I had to go. I even got to run next to him!! :D
He pulled a 12.011 @114.15mph and I had a crappy 13.066 @112.14 mph I can't complain. It was my 1st time ever to a track...
My 1st run I got thrown off because I needed a helmet to run faster than a silly 14.. I had to rent a helmet..
Vince THANK YOU for alll your support and ENCOURAGING words... :cheers:
In my best Arnold Voice...."I'll be back"..............When it gets frigging cooler :cuss
Vince is still there trying his best to break that wall!

Hey Vince the race is on, which one of us gets to the goal first may be a matter of who gets to the track first. It has been raining in NJ since Friday :U

Good Driving!!!!
Sorry I couldn't be there to see it. I had a small emergency at my place.
Yes I think mid 11's are yours, if we ever get any cool weather. I just looked at the weather channel and they are predicting a low of 69 on Wednesday. This could be a good day to run again.
Can't wait to see the video!!!!
