Default 405 rwhp 1/4 capabilities?

I haven't been around too many f-body street cars cranking out 400 + rwhp, thus I would like to get a feel of possibile 1/4 mile capabilites of current setup.

The car is a typical 99 WS6 M6. Assume minor weight reductions such as: minimal fuel, no jack , nothing not normally fastened down removed. (Would 3500 lbs w/out driver seems reasonable?)

Also assume ws6 wheels with Fls up front, disconnected sway bar and Drag Radials out back!

Car has 406 rwhp & 385 rwtq, 4:10s (stock 10 bolt), Kevlar clutch (see sig for more details)

What would be a resonable short time & 1/4 time with this setup?

Now if replace the 10 bolt with a 12 bolt (same 4:10 gears) and ET Streets...What would be a resonable short time & 1/4 time with this setup?

I'm no Evan Smith and not willing to go 6K dumps on slicks just a "normal" street freak that likes to go to the track on occcasion.

Thanx for the input!

Todd, I think you could be in the high 11's to low 12's on decent 60's. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" /> I think it will really depend on how well the car hooks, track prep & the driver. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

If you drive a stick like I do <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> you'll be in the 14's regardless of the car! <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0">

If it's not raining are you going to the Rock on Sunday?

If I had 405 rwhp my car would be in the very low 11's. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Guessing 1/4 mile times is a bad business, and a M6 makes that even worst. There are WAY too many things that can affect good performance at the track.

One way to find out.. take it to the track!

BTW: My car only makes 314rwhp, but it uses it well <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Well I have about 397 at the wheels and my last time to Englishtown I ran an 11.81 @ 119 mph race weight was about 3480. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0"> with that HP and a goop prep track you will see 11's for sure

Something makes me think Rockingham will be slick tomorrow. 4.10s and 17" DRs are pretty hard to hook anyway.
