Default Love this car!

Well, I said I don't post but this has been SOOOO FUN! I picked up my 2004 C5 Coupe MN6 back on July 31st off of the showroom floor. Drove it home and had the biggest grin on my face when I pulled into the driveway! Then my wife and myself got in to go for a little canyon run to the daughter's house. What a blast! My wife loved it! But, that's where I saw room for improvement. So, off to A&A I went. Andy installed the P1SC and suspension upgrades(see pic below--forgot to list ceramic coated tunnel plate). Picked it up and the grin just got bigger. What a little slot car!! After 2 weeks on this setup I wanted MORE!! So, off to LAPD for heads and cam. Al, I know you thought I wasn't to enthused but the ride home was a blast!! Thanks again(Kattie beat me home!!). Thanks again to A&A and LAPD.

Nice numbers! Can the LS1 motor withstand that high of HP daily driven?

Nope. The stock motor is not going to hold 613 rwhp / 537 torque for any extended period of time - at least if you drive like I do.

Those are terrific numbers btw. I'm surprised that you are able to make 613 rwhp with 42 lb injectors.

Cheers,

Mark

It's not a daily driver. I'm sure I don't drive as hard as alot of those here. I just wanted something that had the power and sounded awsome. I'm sure if I was driving this all the time with my foot in it, I'd be looking for a new motor (and other parts!!) real soon. My wife is putting it into a show this coming weekend. I can't believe how much she has put herself into this. Again, this is for fun and that's what we're having.
