c5 corvette project

1st day in the shop

S. Brink Jetty Communications

Update note! The C5 dynoed at 615 rwhp and turned a 10.4 ET at over 137 MPH. The C5 had a little traction problem that a new set of M/T drag radial 345x35x18 should have cured.  A lot of testing was done before Pinks All Out, we were ready for the Pinks race. Lined up the C5 for its first pass and turned a 11.1 ET at 99 MPH. We lost a head gasket on the drivers side %$#@^ was said by all involved. There were a few guesses on how this happened, we found that all the injectors were OK, we felt that maybe there might have been a loss of fuel pressure. All the dyno runs our wide band was reading between 10.55 and 11.00 Fuel ratio.  One other thing we checked was The RA rough average of the deck and found it above the 50 ra that Comatic gaskets recommended. Who knows  it could have been a combination of factors, that is water under the bridge. We have recovered and have a new motor installed that is a little in the gray area as far as smog, times and mph will be posted when available.
