[@karlapplegate4145]

I finally figured out the chirping noise it's Birds!

Great job on the dyno. The C5 and up just offer so much more performance. As much as l love the nostalgia from my C4, they can't compete.

i realize I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online?

@Julio Emory thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !!

@Damon Dillon Happy to help :D

Strong numbers Chris! Bring it to Texas so we can race! LOL

Ooooo I wanna see this. Would be cool if I brought my red Z. Could race red, white , and blue!

Great numbers. Your about exactly where I want to be with my c5.

"There's nothing like NA power." Well said!

[@jenniparker1]

I read a forum post that said the too much crankcase pressure can cause the rear main seal to make a squeal that sounds just like a bad pulley bearing, guy changed out his breather and it was fixed.

Great to hear that.I am going back to the dealership.Harmonic balancer was wobling.and eating serpentine belt Like you I will be dropiing a lot coin But we love our cars.

Are the heads ported at all or just as cast and put on?

I thought the birds chirping was your Vette....LOL

[@anthonygenx5943]

Those are actually pretty decent numbers. Are the heads ported and is the Fast 92 and ls2 tb ported? Thanks

[@Lonewolf68149]

Great video, good numbers!👍👍

[@Stay-vigilant]

Totally different vehicle but my 06 Ram 2500 5.9 chirps when when my belt tensioner needs replacing. Crossing my fingers that you find the gremlin responsible for your chirp.

[@thomaswilson8634]

Sunoco Standard 110 octane 55 gallon drum. 454. 00. Weight 440lbs. I don't know how much to ship to ya. Maybe you can do the math on how much to add to tank to bring the octane to where you want it. Should last a while.

[@isidorodelgadillo6561]

Have you tried Octane booster to raise the Octane level?

[@mycorvettelife]

I’m not going to play that game ever time I fill up.

[@stephonb7254]

Very good numbers considering it's an early C5. 2001 and up received a bump up in torque and hp. I'm thinking about getting an 03 or 04 maybe next year. Your videos give me ideas on what to do with it. thank you and keep sharing.

[@0Heeroyuy01]

iv had mine a year now, its a 01 base model and i have drove it year round its a fun little car even stock which mine is. if you haven't looked up what to look out for id suggest you do that, there are some really common things outside of the standard thing you look for on anycar that you should look for i'll give you a example, if you can remove the battery or get a good look under it is a good idea b/c under the battery is were the computer and some cars have had battery acid leak down onto the computer and sooner or later its going to kill that computer.

[@gotmylk]

That "bump in HP and TQ" your referring to was derived from the the LS6 intake. Which netted an increase of 5hp and tq. Chris's car already had the LS6 intake before swapping to the FAST. So no, his power numbers aren't good for an early model C5. His power numbers are good for any C5. In fact his numbers are typical of a heads/ cam LS1...when done correctly.

[@guntherdadson5046]

That’s bc in 2001 GM put the LS6 intake on every LS1

[@nashrambler5246]

You’ve got me thinking about doing what you have done to my 2003. 🤔

[@WORRO]

Very nice!

[@georgecastrejon2374]

Is the cam stock? I'm looking to build my C5 Z06 with that FAST intake, 92mm throttle body, and those fuel injectors too.

[@jonstapleton76]

I thought you had a FAST intake?

[@mycorvettelife]

I do. I said that in the video.

[@jonstapleton76]

@@mycorvettelifeOk I thought so, so those are your final numbers.

[@lanebarker297]

What size is the cam? Specs? Good numbers for a H/C LS1....440/410 is on point

[@kevinkeffaber7162]

We're you getting 400hp with just a cam and bolt ons basically? I've got a stock 98, and at them point where I'm trying to decide what i can get for the least amount of dollars

[@mycorvettelife]

Yes

[@Owens_Racing]

BTR cam and MSD intake. Supporting mods and you’ll be very happy.

[@kevinkeffaber7162]

That's pretty good numbers. I go back and forth between doing the cam, which we all know makes them sound great, and superchargering, which doesn't give you that great sound but allot more bang. But in the end, are we really going to use all that bang for a nin strip car, and for way more money invested? Haven't really nailed down what the cam and supporting mods are going to cost, but I'm sure it's way less than 6 grand it so for the charger?

[@MrRichardgower]

Chris, those are very respectable real world numbers on whitey...especially considering your using pump fuel and not race gas...you did good buddy:) I just can't help it, everytime I look at your c5 I just keep remembering the day you brought it home and what it looked like before you started on it.

[@Mazak23]

See if you can find a shop that uses a Superflow dynamometer. It's the same dyno that GM uses when they test engines.

[@imdeplorable2241]

What's the reason for AZ not having 93 octane? Is it the smog laws?

[@mycorvettelife]

No idea.

[@J_Blaik]

Those birds got me oiling my rifle while watching the video lmao

[@keithr6827]

Could always go with e85 if it's available

[@Qtnlb2917]

Nice Chris ! how many miles do you have on the odometer?

[@mycorvettelife]

Just over 120k. Almost nothing on the car is original though.

[@thomasadams7429]

Have you upgraded your computer on your 98?

[@mycorvettelife]

No

[@mikeanddebboyers6822]

I didn't know you would get that much jump in HP with 2 more points in octane. I run 92 just because it has Techron in it. Would 93 make that much difference?

[@mycorvettelife]

Techron doesn’t add octane. It’s a detergent.

[@mikeanddebboyers6822]

@@mycorvettelife Yes, the 92 is as high as I can get WITH Techron. I can get 93 but doesn't have Techron.

[@floodx4947]

For those asking about the HP gain from 93 octane. Just putting 93 in a car will not gain you anything. The gain comes from being able to tune differently. So don't go seek out higher octane (and more expensive) fuel expecting better performance. You only need whatever octane fuel your car requires to not per-detonate (knock). Honestly, most stock cars are fine on 87, but its rare to find regular fuel without ethanol.

[@mycorvettelife]

Yes this is true. And my car is tuned on 91. If I was able to get 93 I would be able to get more power out of it.

[@cnknguyen]

Bro you need to swap it to a 6.2, I made 500whp/450tq with a stock fuel system, stock ls6 manifold, cleaned up 317 heads and a big fucking Texas speed cam on a mustang dyno. The 5.7 just can't move enough air to get big numbers NA.

[@mycorvettelife]

I'm aware that more displacement will make more power.

[@cnknguyen]

@@mycorvettelife it'll be the easiest way to maximize the upgrades you've already done. A friend of mine with a similar setup as yours, with the 6.2 is putting down nearly 600whp NA and 800+ on a single 200 shot with daily drivability. I'm not talking shit just suggesting a way to get the best bang for your buck.

[@edgardovigo1012]

Looks like is time to sell the C4 to save the C5?????

[@mycorvettelife]

Nope

[@windycitywarrior71]

You’ve got it to just over a bone stock LS3. C6 is the way!

[@Owens_Racing]

Fact!

[@danielkinsler46]

And the initial cost of the car would have been at MINIMUM double what he paid for the car to begin with. It isnt always about the power, some like the C5 for its looks.

[@windycitywarrior71]

@@danielkinsler46 that’s highly debatable. If your talking an early C6 with the LS2 and higher mileage like this C5 cost is very close to the same. But a low mileage C6 GS yeah talking 35k+. Looks of all corvettes are great. But if it’s just looks your after and you prefer a C5 then I get it. TONS of variables you can argue if you wanted to.

[@frontxxrunner]

That's similar to what a C6 gets at the crank, not the rear wheels. He's making probably around 60 more hp over a stock LS3

[@gotmylk]

Ummm not quite. The LS3 C6 makes 360-374rwhp for the autos. 375-385 rwhp on the m6s.
