Should be enough to get you into the high 11's maybe even 11.50's with a good 60'

I went 10.96@124+ with 396rwhp 364rwtq in a c5z with 4.10 gears.(baby cam only setup.
With the larger/better cams out these days I bet a well setup cam only C5 could possibly see 10.5x's in cold air. (assuming rwhp around 440-450)

True. Though being a C5 Z06 your car is lighter and more potent to begin with then a C5 coupe.

But still low 11s/high 10s are possible in a well driven manual C5 with full bolt ons and a proper cam choice (and tuning) in good air.

^ I agree! I thought that setup would get you high 11's or even a 12 flat!! Some of you alls dynos are really giving you guys low numbers if your not hitting 400rwhp and then hitting 10's at the track. IMO

Look at the 60' that RobZ cuts and that is where the ET is coming from. Still 124 mph is amazing for 400 rwhp.

I would say with a decent 60' time, mid 11's. Maybe 11.3-11.6 at 122-123mph.
checkout the C5Z06 fast list:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1549325

Going to the track within the next month or so. can't wait to see what I run. Just hope nothing breaks, so going to go easy on the launch.

for fastvet, some of us are in the 11's bonestock, I was with a set of tires and a CAI, no tune.

I would bet the uncorrected numbers would be higher on some of those track days.
