Default how fast is 550rwhp

Lets say you have a camaro m6 stock weight, on drag radials on a well preped track with all the mods to hook up with 550rwhp , what times do you think it will run in the 1/4 mile.

to many variable to give a good answer....but I ran a 10.4 @130 w/530whp through an A4 and 3400#

so I would guess low 11's to high 10's w/high 120 mph

Anywhere from high 9s all the way up into the 11s is a realistic range. High 9s would obviously be in a car setup for the track and nothing else.

Thing people don't understand is even besides traction HP is not always speed some setups dyno well but just do not perform on track.

I watched my friend run 11.3 on an otherwise stock LT1 T/A m6 (LE2 package) with M/T steets, so I would say in the 10's easily.

So it was stock intake tract, stock TB, stock manifolds, stock cats and catback, stock gears, stock injectors, etc.?

I can't launch for ****, after I get your guy's plate system and The_Merv's motor installed I'll probably run something like that.

550hp is not the same as another car with 550hp,i depends on the average hp/tq

You see 400rwhp cars in the 11s so high 9 is doable on a light car

I think it would be a good run to run my new Engine vs. my old one that I built after you guys get done with it..all-motor to the same will be a one-sided match..but you on N20 and me on just Engine would be an interesting race...
