Been running the C5
I haven't raced it much in the last two years.
But since my 5.3 for the Nova is stuck in machine shop limbo, been playing with the C5.
My track sucks so hard I've made only a few good runs. Last sat, 11.5 11.7 and 11.3. All over the map.
Today drove an hour south to a real track.
11.27
11.265
11.269
Best mph of 123.
I didn't have the skinnies on the front.
The old turd still runs good!

Thanks again for that great 5 minute email tune . She scanned perfect cruising at 14.7-14.8 and WOT was 12.3 to 12.8.
We got Ricks running about 8pm last night, but the TB wires have an issue. We could pull on them and the idle was changing. They must have gotten pinched during motor change.
