I have pretty much the same set-up. On a sorta hot day I ran a 13.59 @ 102.85 mph.

G-tech told me 13.1 on a 35F morning.

Ryan,

What kind of tires do you run at the track?

If all you have is a downpipe and a catback...No. I would think at least full exhaust/fmic/intake/ECU and you're in the clear. This with the stock sequential and normal boost pattern.

Good proper planning. Since the engine's out, you may want to get the turbo's rebuilt/wastegate ported as well.

Good deal Bryan!

What type of engine management are you running?

It depends on the C5 driver.

I hung with a C5 with the mods that you have from a dig to about 85mph when he let off. Its all in the driver.

what about an automatic vette vs. a manual fd with those mods? Are they that much slower even with the performance transmision button.
