Default What should a 01 C5 Coupe 6 speed with 480rwhp/420 tq, 305 Drs, headers, run in 1/4?

I'm about to buy such a car, and was just curious what I should expect to run in the 1/4 mile with 305 Drag radials, 4.10 gears, LT headers, 3" X pipe, and borla straights? (moderate driver w/ 6 speed). I'm waiting for some paper work, and the car should be shipped next week! I'm fired up! Car was built/dyno tuned by Futral Motorsports.

Thanks guys! Im getting excited!

My 01 w/ 3.90 gears and 489 rwhp and 470 rwtq ran a best of 11.5s @ 121 mph. This was done with Mickey Thompson drag radials and 1.6 60'.

11.4-12.0 (traction pending)

you'll only get 1 run in if you go quicker that 11.49...unless u already have the rollbar, harness and firejacket.
good luck

A stock Z06 at my track only runs 107 or 108 w/ good driver at our track. Our air is ussually around 6,000' adjusted. I have trapped 121 in 5800' so at 1000' I am sure it would be better.

I AM FROM MIDLAND/ODESSA AREA AND HAVE SEEN YOUR CAR AT THE TRACK AND CAN SAY THAT YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE.

I need to learn to drive, man that is plain rude. I have been racing for years. My 01 Bone stock ran 106 while a freind of mines 02 Zo6 ran 108 and we both can drive.
I am sorry that I only ran 121 max but I have seen many high hp cars run there and they dont show the numbers that their cars are capable of at Penwell.

I Am Just Saying Your Car Should Run Low 11's High 10's With Those Kind Of #'s My Stock C5 Ran 13.59@105 Friday At Penwell With Traction Problems. In All Actuality You Should Be In The Tens With 489rwhp. My Opinion.don't Mean To Be Rude Just Stating What I Have Seen.

Like I stated I ran 13.5 @ 106 spinning and now I run 11.6 @ 121 still have traction problems (drag radials). 121-106 = 16 mph diffference =160 hp.
Car had 324 rwhp stock now has 489 489-324=165 hp.

Who are you?

We are trashing this mans thread.

WOW! I didnt realize the DA was that high in Midland. My thinking defaults to Houston sea level air!

Not for sure.... I will check a few things and go from there. Planning on a leak down test at some point. If it goes, I'll end up putting an SDPC 402 shortblock. Run a conservative 500rwhp. That should be plenty. Everything on the engine now, should piece to the shortblock. Shouldnt need too much more stuff i wouldnt think? I am new to modding engines, but I dont see what else i would need to make that shortblock drop in and run? I'm sure there will be a few supporting components i would need yet.

I'll keep you posted. Car is scheduled to arrive here May 8th-10th.
