It should run and what it will run are two different things. 6 speed and a 10 bolt with 3.23s is asking for trouble. I would say 12.0 @ 125mph because you would have to do such a soft launch.

So let me get this straight. It is a forged motor, with a ls6 intake and crappy mac mid length headers? And it has a 12 bolt with only a 3.23 with the 6 speed? Stock 6 speeds came with 3.42 gears in the 10 bolt. Either he is lying to you or doesn't know anything about setting the car up right. that thing is going to be a pooch!

I still say 12.0....
