Default Think a 9.9X is possible with this setup...

Havent been out to the track since last year. Car was doing mid 10's @ 128 with a bad PCV Vac leak, Old tune and heavy 18/19 wheels with baby 1.67 launch....

Car is a 2001 Z06 with a Fully Forged 11.25:1 LS7 block, Baby 234/240 .598 .608 112 cam, CNC 279cc L92 heads, Ported LS3 Intake, 1 7/8 ARH Headers x 3" No cats, RPM Stage 6 4L65 swap with a 3200 converter, RPM Stage 3 C6Z diff with 3.42 gears. Had the car retuned and it made 515/508 on a hot day "Conservative Mustang Dyno" Made 572/563 on a dynojet 2 weeks prior... Just curious... Plan on making it out soon when I get some time...

Car is making good power. You will def need to mph more than 128 and probably going to need more converter

Yea converter is tight. I'm confident with vac leak fixed, and my retune it should do 134-5

Agree with silly and breze..... converter is a bit too tight. My first trip into the 9's, I trapped 133 mph...... 60 footing 1.31-1.34 at that time. Here are a few slips from that first time.

But, in good air, you might slip in as it sits..... should be close. Rather you get there or not, the fun is in trying. Good Luck !!
