How to get a 2000-03 Vette into the 10's? I'm planning to purchase a Vette very soon and would like to get an idea of what is the best route to take to get it into the 10 second zone.
How much RWHP do I need?
What is the easest way to get that power?
What needs to be upgraded so it won't break?
Thanks

True. I haven't needed one, yet. I would get the DTE brace, which I have, that eliminates, or helps to eliminate the binding/twisting of the trans and diff,...to prevent the output shaft from breaking...
A nasty cam, and heads will get you there but,..your gonna need a GEAR,..and alot of traction. Spray would get you there for sure. I would go with heads and cam, and spray. About a hundred shot, to a 150 shot. TNT F1 kit. That way, all you need is a sticky tire,...and a heavy right foot, and a quicker left foot, if you get a six speed, which I recommend.

A heads, cam, long tube headers, N20 setup would be the least expensive.
Twin turbos is definitely my preferance.
Obviously you'll very likely need to harden several components in your drive line.

Thanks everyone, I think I like either the twin turbo idea with the procharger coming in second. I know TT will make a ton of power but the price is very high also. Which kit would you recommend?
My question about the procharger system is will a procharger on a relatively stock motor make enough power to run that fast. I really didn't want to rip into the engine if I didn't have too. But I'll have exhaust, MAF, and TB upgrades, basically all the easy stuff.
Also, I think I'd like to do this with an automatic car, any thoughts?

I dunno why you'd bother with a twin turbo setup unless you want 900 horsepower.
The procharger at 7psi , full exhaust and a good tune should make 500-ish to the wheels on an LS1. Stock motor can handle 7psi. I dunno anything about the auto trans, but i'm sure other will chime in or you can search. If you get a 4000 stall like some of these guys you will launch off the line in your powerband which = insane

I'd go with H/C, Stall, Gears, Slicks, full intake and exaust, and spray 100shot maybe even 150shot. And that will get you in the 10's.
Beware your rear end will break if you don't do something with it. I.E. get one built or have hardened gears and output shafts installed. I broke my outputshaft with drag radials and only running 12's........

pray it doesn't rain this saturday and I'll find out if mid 10's are possible with a cam only, stall, gears, slicks, and spray can do it. All the math should put me about 10.50@125-128 with a 150 dry shot

I have an 02 M6. I started in the rear end. I am running all of the DTE stuff, the pinion support, both shafts, pre load springs and brace. I also have 4.10s right now. LG LTs w/high flow cats, and a Borla Quad. Last but certainly not least, a VaraRam intake. I run 11.94s all day long in 87 degree weather. I am ordering a blower next week and that will put me into the 10s. Might have to change gears though. I'll give the 4.10s a shot and see what happens and change them out when the stock clutch goes, which probably won't be long after the blower install.

Number one buy an auto vette add all boltons and a head cam package designed to meet your goals and a converter and gears to match, light tires and wheels good weather, low elevation track and traction, your there.
