Well guys I went to the track and ran a 9.9 @149.8 mph in my LPE 346 TT C5. This was the first time I had the CCW drag wheels on it. So I just wanted to get use to them first. I babied it of the line.
I could not belive it went 9.9 with 149 mph :shocked: I take this car to work all most every day. My wife drives it more then I do. Its my daily car.... Just thought some of u guys would like to know this.. I know its not a Viper.

Thanks LPE... :2tu:

Wow, how much horsepower do you have? Those vettes are lighter than the Vipers.
I'll make sure to stay out of your way :cool:

Has anybody ever tried racing you on the street not knowing what your car is capable of :eek: ? Especially with an auto trans, I bet that sucker hooks and launches hard as hell.

Congrats, but 800RWHP+ out of a stock bore LS1 is almost impossible along with daily driver freindlness. I'm not a stranger to LPE mtself, I had work done to my C4. The 427TT makes 800hp, but nowhere does the stock bore package claim 800hp? :confused: The stock bore TT is "only" 550hp, and the 6560TT package is bored to a 383ci. The 800TT car is trapping at 155mph with 800 Crank horsepower. With your 149mph, I' guess you're in the 650-700hp range.

Please post some dyno pics, once again congrats on the times. :2tu:

Sweet!

Awesome run - I love those LPE 'vettes...I've had to really resist John Page tempting me with a 427 TT lately. ;)

I have a LPE stageII with a boost controller C5 Vette. It has a 346cid eng. and they have been working on ways to run more boost on pump gas and even much higher H/P levels on race gas. Watched DJ's pass and his car sounded as stock as mine does. And yes he has alot more power than I do now.

I stand corrected then. For some reason I thought it was bored to a 383, sorry for the confusion. :)


Once again awesome times and power from that C5 DJ. :2tu:

That is FLIPPING fast! Congrats! Is this on a stock bottom end or a built bottom end still that retains the 346 stock displacement? How much boost? I would guess about 25 PSI peak? Also do you have larger turbos than the standard 650 HP stage II package?

Well guys I went to the track and ran a 9.9 @149.8 mph in my LPE 346 TT C5. This was the first time I had the CCW drag wheels on it. So I just wanted to get use to them first. I babied it of the line.

Thanks guys.. Its a 346 built bottom end. Yes the turbos are biger than the standard 650 kit. We were only running 17-18 psi of boost. The turbos are good for 25psi. So is the motor. This is a new kit LPE will be offering. Call LPE for more detailed info. Here is a link to one of my runs.. :cool:

Very impressive, saw the 10.0 video, sweet! Are you planning on cranking the boost and going back to the track again? Do you even have a cage in the car?

Nice Runs.

9-sec-C5
We might make the VIper Vette shoot-out. There is one in Florida the week after the V-10 Nationals that I may stay for. Just depends.
How many cars you expecting?
