A few weeks ago the local CF group had a dyno day. Of course after a few mods on the car I was hoping for something higher than the 668/570 I ran at Andy's in Feb. For some reason my car was running rich and I lost some power along the way so only I ran a 637/572 on this video. I will get the car tuned again coming up as soon as I make the final changes to the fuel system. I am sure the HP output will be taken care of at that time.

Click on the link in the sig to see the video. At WOT, my C5 is very loud, some of the guys were actually describing "significant hearing loss" after 3 dyno runs. Crank up the sound so you can get the full effect.. and watch out for the tornado of wind that travels out the back at the end of the run...

thanks guys for the kind words... It has been a long uphill battle with my car... getting everything working correctly takes some time but is well worth the effort.
