Raced the new vette at the local 1/8 mile(Video inside) http://www.suckycs.com/ownss/MVI_0739.avi
Only got 2 runs and missed third on my second pass.
Best pass was a 8.52@87.21 while smacking around a heads/cam 95 Cobra running slicks.
I was happy considering it was my first time out with intake and exhaust.

My guess would be 13.2@111 give or take

The car is a 04 6spd Coupe
Mods include:
Halltech Stinger intake
Magnaflow Exhaust and X pipe
The last dyno pull was 335rwhp 350rwtq
This is my 3rd LS1 vehicle and from my experience they seem to pick up 24-25 mph in the last 1/8 mile.
Hopefully I will get it to a 1/4 mile track for some more acurate trap speeds in the near future.
I think it will go 111+ in decent weather

My 2000 SS went 12.59 @ 112.2 with a 3500lb race weight while dynoing 326/335(Exhaust,Lid,TB,FTRA)
At the same race weight with Cam and headers it went 12.0@117 while dynoing 365/360(TR224,Hooker LT,Pulley)
The vette feels stronger than the camaro when it had boltons.
I weigh 200lbs
Shall see?
When are you running your car with the new setup?

Unless the weather changes (predictions are good right now), I'll be at the drag strip on Saturday.

Make sure you come back and post your whole timeslip so we can check that formula.
Good Luck

I bought the car more to enjoy on the streets then to drag race.
It probablly won't see a tire (Unless I borrow a buddies set for a couple passes)
Sadly they closed are only local 1/4 mile track and the next closest thing runs 1-2 times a month and is at 2500' elevation.Not to mention you get 2-3 runs during an 8 hour period.(I have better things to do)
Things may change in the future but for now I am just enjoying driving the car.

I'm not a fan of these conversions.Some cars don't hook well,spin then hook,so the second half of the run is being calculated from the first half,but to me thats not accurate because of the tire spinning 60'.If the car launched on slicks i could see the calculation being close,or some cars have more top end and pull like mad after the 1/8 mile marker.Approximate seems like an understatment.Just my thoughts.
