Daryn95Z - Thank you, its just discouraging to see times of people with stock LT1's getting 13.5-14.0's. Hopefully next time i will have some drag radials.
MauriSSio - I accidentally read the MPH for the car next to me on that one. I fixed It.

I never pulled a C5 from a roll, i am just able to stay exactly equal from 50-110. Track prep was pretty bad yesterday, but i dont know. Any tips, suggestions i should know about, or things that look odd with the timeslips?

That is amazing with 100 mph traps. A C5 should pull you hard from 50 to 110. Are you at high altitude? Was it a really hot humid day at the track?

93Z286Speed - Thanks for the props, i have seen some guys state how quick there stock ET was, i have seen several auto 3.23 gearend cars that went 13.7, and a few quicker. I guess you are right though...i did good for my first time.

It was 65 degrees, like 50 percent humidity, track is 300 ft above sea level. I ran 2 different C5's with the same outcome from the same spot, i had 2.73's then.

50-110 is the sweet spot for a 2.73 auto car. Still a good C5 driver in the right gear should pull you hard from 50-110. Anybody want to lend me a C5 to race him.

I want to race and get beat by my co-workers 01 Cobra w/ bassani X pipe, 2 chamber flows, and CAI....oh yeah he supposedly has a 90mm throttle body too.
Any track tips you guys could lend me?
I did take the all the crap out of the car, and the jack and spare, left all the seats in. Gas tank was at about half. I lowered my rear tire pressure from 35 to 30.
I was thinking about getting some LCA's to improve my 60'. How much would they help.

I know a C5 should beat me lol, i never said I go around stomping on C5's. I posted out of amazement that i stuck right side by side 2 different C5's from basically the same rolling start. Even if that was my sweet spot before, i know thats an LS1's sweet spot aswell. Less weight...more power...oh well.

That is definately a fluke, though. Don't expect to beat all stock LS1s.
