My power plant is an ls2 block, C5R heads and a custom sheet metal manifold controlled by an Accel/DFI system. My power adder is a two stage Speed Tech Direct port nitrous system. All these changes at one time created one hell of a mission; we were plagued with many problems that needed to be worked out.
Now the results: Two 10.1 passes followed up with two 10.0 runs all N/A going thru the traps at only 3500 rpm. The motor ran flawless. The tranny worked perfectly (after being in and out at least 6 times) The convertor was way two loose flashing to almost 6,000 N/A ( that will be getting swapped out this week) The rear even stayed in one piece after some nice launches off the brake.
This car will have no problem running mid nines@ 3400lbs on motor with right gears and convertor.
Now for the best part!
The Doctors said that if I made thru the day with out braking. I could have my Bottles Back

Mario's car run on 100% gasoline, so once again it holds the title for fastest na C5. Not to worry Julio you still have the quickest, converted to an auto, C5 in all the land.
Of course in reality, who cares about either one.
