the car should have easy 13.2's in it when you get the 60 foots down. Consistency is the key, and that comes from practice, which is fun b/c you get to race more! Good luck getting her to go even faster!

What year is the Z? The trap speed looks low for your mods. My 2001 when new with just a lid trapped at 106 and the m6's 109ish. Untuned?

You also have a LS6 upper intake. some reason i think he has a 99.

I'm guessin that the LS6 intake really opens up the top end of these cars. My first time ever(only time so far) I ran a 13.1@110.8 with a 2.18 60'. And I have LTs, ORY, Intake, minor tuning, BMR K, etc. So i'd say if he has a 2000 and under hes right on par. The LS6 intake would liven his as well as mine up.
