Seems like you should be pretty close. That's about what power level I was at with my 96 Camaro when it ran 199 and you are lighter and I believe better aero.

Roughly what would a car that does 200 in the mile do in the 1/4? From the above convo I'd guess maybe mid upper 140s?

I went 205 in the mile with 640 flywheel hp in a bit better car aero wise, but it seems like you have more than enough now.

If your the new owner of Sean's Car nice to meet you.. My name is Nate I kinda know your car...

I always suggested he install one of FROST's dual flash PCM's and have him make a race gas tune for your car..Or at least have a spare pcm you could switch. Plus run straight methonal as at one point I think he was mixing it.
Get a boost controller asap Imo.

Just to hit 200, 450rwhp
To hit 200 in the 1 mile, i have no clue. I plan on doing 200 with my T/A in the mile, it will have around 630rwhp N/A + 100-200 shot.

Here is what I know:

C6Z TT @ 12 psi, twin GT35Rs- 750 rwhp, no wind- 197, poor driving, missing 5th.

C6Z TT @ 18 psi TT GT35Rs- 900 rwhp no wind, better driving, 206

C6Z TT @ 21 psi, VERY rich tune ( Sub 10:1 AFR, I missed on the meth setup) ~ 950-1000 rwhp 210...

Next year, 97 TT Viper GTS on E85, 13 psi, 850 rwhp, GOOD driving, 207

There are so many variables- Wind, driver ( Slow shifts= big MPH drop, and you have to recover, late 5th gear shifts= BIG MPH recovery, upwards of 15mph on data logs) Aero, etc etc.

I have a customer wanting to go 200 in a 99 C5 FRC, My math shows with him driving, and the gearing he has, he will need right at 800.

We will be down there in March, May, and October, feel free to stop by

can be done with 650-700 rwhp in a properly setup car and good driving

i witnessed a stock body ls3 c6 run 193 with bolt ons and a small shot (maybe close 600 rwhp form my guess)

c5's have decent aero just make sure your cars up to the task the mile is HARD on everything

a c6z needs aprox 700 rwhp because they arent as good aero wise (cd of drag is around .34 and frontal area is greater in size over a c5 or even base c6)
