Default Played with my first C5 tonight!

I was driving home and I was sitting next to a red C5 at a stop light. We both took of slow and got to about 45mph when she hit it. The C5's rear bumper was at my front bumper when we started, and it pretty much stayed that way till about 85mph. I am pretty pumped that I stuck with a vette even with my jacked up tranny. They gave me the thumbs up when I drove by, seemed pretty cool. Now I really want to get the rest on my mods done, so next time they will be seeing the backside of my truck. Just thought I would share my story, Kent.

I would rather play it safe by just getting it tuned and getting rid on TQM, don't really feal like a blown motor.

So you are saying that 74,000 miles means with the addition of more boost you get a blown motor?...I don't really understand. !) pds of boost on the stock motor should be nothing you guys seem to forget the motros have no compression, like the motors of old. Thats why they don't make close or the same power as the cars....Well there is a few other reasons too, but your truck with fuel and boost should have no problem. I agree with getting rid of Trq Mng, i guess i don't have to worry about it cause mine does not work...lol...My torque managment...that is...lol
