Estimated e.t , & mph I have a '96 Corvette Grand Sport "clone". Nothing is original. Briefly, I have a Gen VI Full Roller 454 big block that has less than 9000 miles on it, with Brodix heads, a Holley 770, Hedman headers, combination of Flow Master exhausts & Magnaflow mufflers, Art Carr built 700r (rated to handle 800 HP at the rear wheels)with a Dana 44 & 3.45 gears through a B&M shifter, mild Crane Cam with 214/222 duration & .553 & .576 lift, dual Holley fuel pumps (Red & Blue), every gauge possible including a air/fuel, pyrometer & trans temp gauge, 275/17 BFG Drag Radials, etc. Sorry, that wasn't so brief. I have a 12" torque converter witha 2200 stall speed, and I can hold the brake at the line to about 1100 RPMs before accelerating. And, oh yea, a NOS 400 wet shot programmed through a Jacob's Electronics Controller set to engage 50%, or 200 HP @ 2800 RPMs, and progressively increasing to 100%, or 400 HP @ 5500 shift point (just below rev limiter & redline @ 6000 RPMs. At this point the car is still in the performance shop. I have been told it should produce about 500 HP at the block just motor, and 900 at the block just motor. This should convert to about 425 HP and 750 HP at the rear wheels NA and with 400 N2O.
What e.t and mph should I expect NA and on the N2O, assuming a relatively inexperienced driver? Any comments as to whether the Jacob's N2O Controller is ideally set up (RPM, HP), or is another setup preferable?
Any and all comments are appreciated. I really enjoy this message group, and thank you for your time & expertise.

Re: Estimated e.t , & mph Well...assuming everything turns out as planned...it will really come down to traction and setup. Its gonna be tough hooking with those tires. With slicks I could see anywhere from low 9s to mid 10s depending on setup, suspension, gearing etc. It should really fly though. Make sure you get some video and post it. As a matter of fact I seriously doubt youll be able to touch the 400 shot of nitrous during a run with those tires without getting sideways. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Estimated e.t , & mph Depending on your suspension and weight distribution you can't really guess. I have a 68 Chevelle with L88 pumping a true 769RWHP + 550hp custom fogger N2O. By best time so far(still tweaking)was 7.65@188mph. I am running 4:88 gears with slicks. I have not yet run the car for times without the N2O. I am going to Englishtown in a few weeks, and I am going to bump up my timing and retune for a non-N2O run to see what the engine can do. I will post the slips ASAP. But you can have a million HP and if you can't get it to the ground, it's useless. My 7.65 run was spinning most of first and second, so I have a whole lot of adjusting to do to the suspension.
