Contact PCMforLess they can Dyno your car.
They are not far from Columbus, close to Salem.

Bullet also has a set of IHRA legal Springs for the cam..

Contact Mark Kent at GM about the cam specs. IHRA didn't have any for our car so we emailed him and he was kind enough to send us the OEM #s. I then sent those to Mike Baker and he approved the car for Pure Stock. Then gave those numbers to Bullet and they ground us a nice cam. With changing the cam and adding 1 & 7/8" headers we picked up more than 5 tenths.

Also, don't be afraid to put a converter and gear in it. We have a Yank SS4000 because I found one almost new for about half of what they cost. It's a great converter but it's a street converter. When I get ambitious I'm going to try to get it loosened up to 5000. We also put a 3.90 gear in the car because it was a DD at the time. They only go to a 4.10 on the gear for these cars and I wish I had that. We run a 28" tire. I believe with a 5000 TC and a 4.10 gear I could pick up even more. If I had an LT1 car (and I have had those) I wouldn't hesitate going with a 5000 converter and a 4.56 gear with a 28" tire.

Where are you located?

1/2 a second from a cam and headers is AWESOME!!! What is your car rated at for hp Scott? What et's and mph do you run. I have a bud with a late model LS1 vette he built into an NHRA legal stocker with mainly just bolt ons. Runs quite a bit under the index. REALLY peaves the stocker guys when he drives it into the racetrack and goes waayyy under and goes rounds.

350 is the factory HP and I believe it's at 345 now with NHRA/IHRA. At one time recently I think it was 340. The AFHS is very, very favorable in the C5. Our best ET is 11.74 @113 on a 12.45 index. That was at about 2000' DA and 150 lbs. heavy for B. My wife has been putting runs on the car and she is 140 lbs. lighter than me. I know in good air with her in the car it will run in the 50s and 60' 1.4x. Our goal is to be 1 second under and I don't think we are far from there in good air and on a properly prepped track.

Is Jeremy Preston who you're speaking of? We still have AC, legal plates, etc. on ours and could easily drive it out the gate and home if needed.

Yes sir, Jeremy is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to late model FI cars. Luckily I have him and 3-4 other buds to help out my learning curve. All of us are pretty serious racers dabbling in late model cars for stock and or no-e/no-box bracket racing. I looks like this will be a fun experience. I really like you vette and if this turns out right might consider doing one in the future. I'll need another one when my 13yo is done with JR's.

Jeremy and I have spoke several times and I actually have a list of mods he suggested that I have written in the back of my log book. I was sorry to see him sell his Stocker. He's been a big help to me as I gather parts for this car. When your son/daughter is ready for a C5 look us up ... I'm sure by that time we'll have this one sorted out and ready to move onto to something else. I've always wanted a small tire big cubic inch nitrous muscle car that ran 9s. Maybe we can work something out then.
