Default 1/4 Estimate???

I'm running a pretty much stock LS6 with some bolt ons. I'd estimate around 450+ HP. Stock rear end. Ran a 13.3@106.7 with same bolt on's on my LS1. Spun a little bit in first. Ran a 13.34 at 109.9 not catching traction til around the 1/8. Any clue what I should be running?

12.0 if you get some good tires. if you you are running street tires and spinning a lot...it seems like a total waste to me.

well almost any drag radial will work, besides nittos (they arent too impressive at all) me and a lot of my friends run these mickey thompsons... its up to you as the driver to NOT dump the clutch at 4,500rpms, or you may very well break your rear end quickly. just dont leave the line super hard.

If I were to guess I would I would say 12.10s to 20s(if you truly have 450hp). I would say I have 435hp(360whp+17% loss), I think on a good track day I should be 30s-40s. Next race is Stock/Super Stock so Im sure track will be good.

Ya that's what I'll do then is buy them tires. I'm sure if I had a moser or some other 12 bolt or maybe a 9" with some 4:11's I'd run pretty with them tires, maybe 12.00 or 11.99???
