Depending on what size tires he runs. That has a bunch to do with it.

I agree on pulling gear for spray, may run out before the finish line... But cant agree with you on the car being over 120 N/A with 411rwhp. I make slightly more than that, and have gone 115-117 depending on what my stall wants to do at launch. Its a beast none the less, but 120-122 in that ride should be cracking 10's. Then again mine is an auto, so who knows.

Got ya. I stick with stock height tires. But if your goin taller you should be fine.

I think realistically 121-123 for my car right now with the suspension and the fact that I'll be swapping to a radial opposed to a bias ply.

I'm hoping for 135+ with a 175 shot.

Lets hope so, and let us know how you do with the tire change... Hope you crack 10's N/A! That would be sick.

I go way over 120 with just a bit more power. I don't know what his car weighs but but even at full weight 120+ should be easy.
We got notch's car to go almost 117 with only 340rwhp and about 250lb~ of weight reduction. Car didn't even have headers.....it did have 3.73 gears though

You're not the norm. Are bolt on 5.0's running 120+ mph at your track as well?

Nope....my track is not considered fast by no means. It's not slow either, run of the mill on the east coast. There are definitely places that are faster.

Actually to me this is the norm...lol But you keep packin gear and putting more leverage on the motor with a taller tire. Lets see how much power you can sap outta that thing...lol

Not yet. The only thing keeping me from 60ft better is the 10bolt. And from the looks of it my 60 is as good as anyone else with a 10bolt/m6....and better tha most.

I just find it hilarious that you think a 410 rwhp 3350lb car should be trapping well over 120mph.

Well.......I did at that weight. Hell I was heavier than that when I trapped 120 and on 18's with 405 rwhp. Car was pretty much full weight -spare. That would put me around 3570 raceweight.

i test drove a 13 gt a while back. They drive real nice. It shifts smooth and you can definately feel the power on those cars.

OP your car sounds awesome though! Good kill too.

Hio=record setting times with no proof. And he always tells everyone how thier car should be running better. You would think he would open up an ls shop already and be making tons of money since he is the only one to get these cars to run at there full potential.

Drugs are good in my area I guess. Bolt-ons and 120 is awesome, cam only and 120 is mediocre at best.
