What would it cost ball park to get a '01 stock C5 into the 10's?

Way too many options to come up with even a ballpark figure....
Do you have a preferred method of making the power?
A nice 402 with a good set of heads and a nice cam will get you there with a beefed up rear and some sticky tires, or a blower on the stock bottom end would likely do the same.
If you are crazy enough, you could maybe get away with a nice simple head/cam set up and hit it with a 175 shot and hit the 10s as well.
Top it all off with a proper tune, of course....

Keep in mind though, making the power to run 10s is almost the easy part in a Vette...getting that power to the ground in a 1/4 mile is the tough part.

:iagree: 402 will do the trick
