NO! You must never be satisfied! More power is always better!

j/k If I ever own a car that fast I'll be pretty happy with the way life turned out.

XTrooper, excellent ET and MPH and awsome 60 foot time, you'd have to be really happy with that entire package, congrats and very well done.

I bought those TTS headers back when there were very few choices available for the C5. I'm not even sure if they can be bought anymore.

I am keeping mine, they provide great low end torque!! Andy @ A&A tried to get me to upgrade ($1800), I refused, these are paid for.

I hear ya! I'm not changing mine in the foreseeable future either. Only if I go with a larger displacement motor.

I'm not getting a cage, but I'm not done either!

I'll just get my one or two nibbles at the tracks when I go till I get permabanned from all of them and can't race anymore.

Just swap out the plates on the car - that should be good for a few more runs at the track.

That's what I'm thinking or just not spray at all between my nitrous runs. I usually run high 11.90's or 12.0x on the motor. This still requires a rollbar in the convertible, but I've found they're usually very tolerant of those ET's.
