Default Whats the Hardest You Can Launch on a Stock LS1-Rearend On Tire??

I have an 02'Camaro LS6 heads,LS6 manifold,ported tb an deleted the muffler, stock tranny,stock rear end(3.42's)with some sticky mickeys 275/40/17 on the back. With a lil VHT it hooks real hard but I'm Just Curious To See What RPM Others Have Launched Their Camaros When They Had a Stock Rearend On Tire.

Tell Me What's The Hardest You've Launched YOUR Camaro When It Had Stock Rearend?

I lifted tire and got a 1.60 60' not bad since the rear has over 160 passes on it now and daily driving in there as well lol...

My car dynoed 421 to the wheel back in the day, and I launched on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S street tires (275/40/17) to the tune of a 1.88 sixty foot.

That was on stock suspension except for rear LCA's. I imagine someone with more suspension mods could probably hit 1.7's pretty easy.

I've went 1.44's consistently for about 1 year, sheered the ring gear, then the next set of gears out lasted the 6 transmissions. Everything was stock, leaving at idle on the unit, car ran 10.80-11.00 back in 02-03.
