Corvette Performance - power needed to run 9's

my car is a c6 m6 about 3400lbs with me. on mt dr how much power will i need to run 9.9 or better? with a 1.55 to 1.60 60ft. my c5 was an auto. I know it will be more difficult with a 6 speed. setup for my c6 will be 402 stroker with f1 procharger. not yet completed. guys already running 9's just wondering how much rwhp i would need. thanks for any advice.

I know your asking about the m6 but I have an auto Z, that runs 9's...595 at the wheels...

Yeah I think 600rwhp for a stick guy. I had auto 00 z28 that went 10.08@133mph with 551rhwp but that was thru an 8" converter.

Upper 500 to 600 rwhp with a stick.. If you dont know how to drive you can have all the hp in the world and not hit the the number .. I have/had 650 rwhp with an auto and ran a 9.2 where there are people over 800 rwhp that cant even get into the 9s.

Good luck!!

In a C6Z06 w/ 647rwhp, high 9s at 141-144, but if u shoot for say...934rwhp u would go 8.81@154.47mph:chug:

sounds like should be do able. my setup should make 800rwhp or more according to the experts. I will need some seat time with that much power. to feel comfortable with it. thanks for the input guys will keep you posted.

can you give specs on your setup? pm me if you would like, thats amazing numbers on a stock bottom end!

I think a well driven, weight reduced manual transmission with 60fts around the 1.47-1.50, at sea level with fantastic air say -1000DA could do it with around 575rwhp/520rwtq. Thats what i'm hoping for :) I got the 10.81 at 130mph down with 444rwhp in a manual with a 1.55 60ft.

specs? what gearing?

700 rwhp and alot of practice! i run 10.6's on 530 rwhp on my c5 z06!

its going to depend a lot on the driver and the setup.
most guys like myself need around 140ish traps to crack the mythical 9 second barrier.
my car makes low 700's on a DJ and tips the scales right at 3500#.

Here is a video (http://gonedragracing.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=46&pos=10) of the car in the 10.0 index. The throttle is turned down to run in the 10.0 and 11.5 index's
I have since removed the stripes, so it is plain electron blue Z...

AWESOME!!... However it seems a little lazy off the line... Definately a weapon not to be messed with though!

i'm hoping to do the same thing this year.
about 800-850rwhp
6 speed
3.73 gears
28 inch tall tires
with a 5000ft DA

i would really like not to break a third diff this year, so i'm going to try and do it on a 1.6 or 1.7 60' and save some parts

Thats about the most you will get out of an IRS launch...
