and for comparison purposes to Brian. Heres a slip with a very similar 60 ft. And both cars are ran at NED. I expect to gain 2-3mph in the 8th from dialing in the first 100 or so ft with a few little adjustments on the side... and be up a solid 2mph in the 1/4. This pass is literally letting the clutch out from idle, horrible bog, then climb my way up and out back into its powerband. Totally wasting the first 100ft.
26.5" stiffwall ET Drags (20lbs lighter then my nittos as a pair)
3.73s (to help cross the traps in a stronger part of the power band)
Cobra Carrier (dropped 8lbs over torsen)
BMR Chromoly Panhard (i had an aluminium one, lots of deflection)
Poly upper control arm bushing on the diff side (stock wasnt even complete rubber, insane amount of deflection)
Those adjustments alone, i think she will work in the first 100ft properly. Rear end is SOLID now.

Perhaps we can still run on the street before snow flys?

I never doubted your car or said my car was faster. I just want to run you to see what the difference is. The pass I made was far from optimal as well. I think I could pick up a few mph in the 1/8 and 1/4 with practice and little adjustments. Unfortunately the track (NED) closes for the year tonight.

I was planning on it but the rear end issues played there toll. I think i could have gotten the 60s into the 1.7s but its still not 100%. Ill be ready by next month but unfortunately all the tracks are closed. Ill like continue working on the car through the winter and gather parts and let them sit. I really want to get everything out of the longblock setup before i swap intakes and make another 25-30whp. I dont want hp to be a factor in my gains. Just efficiency. Ultimate goal is to have it in the 10s at NED. Not have to go to a hero track and do it. Oh and pump gas

OMG what a laugh
I have hit 116-117MPH traps in a STOCK post 01 Z06 many times in different cars. I have seen them hit low 120s with stock internals and full weight. A bolt on 5.0 at full weight should lose to a bolt on Z. If not something is wrong with car or driver.
Guy down the street has one with full exhaust,tune,373s and a clutch. Anyone 5.0s wanna play?? Outside of Baltimore.

Driven right.....decent track prep and decent air. Why wouldn't they? How much should they really very under the same circumstances? Just say it was a really strong one......say a really weak one would have 20hp less (which would be huge). The really weak one should do 12.0 @ 116 under the same circumstances.
