My car's a 98 M6 WS6, stock weight except for no a/c compressor at the moment, put down 385rwhp and 381rwtq, anyone have a guess as to where my times and trap speeds should be?

I know it's hard to judge with a stick, but I'm just looking for an idea. I want to be able to gauge how good or bad I'm driving it when I go.

I'm a damn decent driver in general but have never launched a stick at the track. I know how to but I've never physically done it. My 60' in an A4 has always been high 1.9/2.0 or under with street tires and a pretty much stock car(cat-back, K+N, 2:73 rear). This car has 11" wide drag radials so I think I can do the launch, but we'll see. I figure I'll start at a 3k launch and maybe step it to 3500 max...I don't want to break it. :D

Any ideas on what kind of time and trap speed I should be looking for would be appreciated! My guess would be around 12.3ish at like 114 or so...sound about right or no?

113-115mph, ET could be all over the place but a 12.2 would be going in the right direction. My Formy was around that dyno number years ago and went 11.7 but it was auto.

I'm making about the same power and with stock gears had a best of 12.21 at 117 so far.

Thanks for the info guys.

Where should I leave at with a stock T56 & 10 bolt?

I want to run respectable without destroying everything. The car has a TA girdle & stud kit on it but otherwise it's the stock 10 bolt with 3:42's @ 74k miles. Same mileage for the trans and it has a Ram powergrip clutch with the mathing master & slave cyl's. Also has 11" wide BFG drag radials on it if that helps.

With that power, 11's are attainable. If you can shift and most of all get the car to hook, I don't see any problem. Good luck.
