Default 12.5 on street tires!

I have a 2001 Corvette with an LS1.

Only mods are TPIS Long Tube headers, no cats, Corsa Pace Car Exhaust, Vararam Intake, Halltech Airbridge, Smooth Couple, underdrive pulleys.

Don't remember the exact trap speed and 60 footer but I know it was a 12.567 which is my best time so far.

I hope to hit 11s with some more work.

That's impressive. Those vettes really do launch much better than the f-bodys do on street tires. A friend has a '00 a4 vette that has gone as quick as a 12.teen on street tires. His 60' times are in the high 1.7s on kuhmos...even with a 2.73 gear.

yeah my buddy has an 07 with a few mods...
He runs 12.5 no problem... but he is also spinning on street tires.
So he could probably do better, but the spinning is not helping...
With a nice set of drag radials, and a good 60', you should be able to dip into high 11's.

Nice times! Curious what your 60' is. I'm hoping to crack the 12s with similar mods this summer
