Default High 10 sec H & C car adds nitrous...what to expect....

I am just looking for some opinions. My corvette has a nice set of heads/cam and also has nitrous. Since I switched to the my latest set of heads I have yet to run nitrous but the car is some .4-.6 quicker all motor than the previous setup. To date the car has been 10.7 and a string of 10.8xs @ ~125. The old setup which was definitely slower all motor would go 10.6-10.8 @ ~133-134 on a TNT 100 shot. What should the car run now if I pulled a couple of degrees of timing to run a TNT 150 and dump some race fuel(Tuned of course). I think that the car will make in the area of 630-650rwhp on the bottle and the car weighs ~3200-3250lbs with 1.47-1.51 60's the norm. Any ideas on ET and MPH?

Phil, is your car an auto or M6? If its an auto, you might need a converter swap to take full advantage of spraying off the line. But, I see you are hitting 1.4s, so maybe just do what you've been doing and then spray once the launch is handled.

With 600 rwhp, a 1.4X short time, and that raceweight, I see no problem with 9s. Maybe 9.80s

My car is a 6 speed and hooking is not a problem. All motor I can launch @ 7000 and it will dead hook. On nitrous I launch the same but turn the juice on roughly 30' out.

With the right tune you should go into the high 9's.
