Default 1/4 Mile Times with SC and 6 Speed

I have just finished up the install of a A & A kit with ARH long tubes on my 02 Z06 6 Speed and wondering what times yall are getting with drag radials. Thanks

all depends on pretty much how good of a driver you are anywhere from 10.80 to 12.0

Hmmmm, I'm guessing 530 rwhp? You're in PA, that's good (cold, pretty low elevation). I'd say with a hard launch, some traction and the willingness to beat on it a little you can get in the 10's. Low 11's should be "all day".

Just don't blow up the rear end!!

my only time to the track yielded a best of 10.66@ 142 1/4 throttle in 1st, 1/2 in 2nd with a crappy 60'.

Drag radials junk times. 650 rwhp (MN6 tranny) 390 rear

11.40 128 MPH drag radials. (BFG) 2.0 60'
10.30 135.6 MPH bogarts drag pack (ET Streets)1.53 60'

Big difference between working the pedal and letting the hammer down. I dont have the nuts to speed shift. I`m a granny grabber..LOL

I must be a crappy driver I only managed a 11.9 (I was running on pure street tires though )

Hardened output shaft and a trans brace would be a good start. Stick shift cars + drag radials tend to hurt the differential/trans.

Robz is using DR and he is seeing great results, he's not SC'ed though.
I've never had any luck with them on other cars so I didn't mess around when it came to the vette and went straight to a bias-ply setup.

my times are in my sig. arbrmdangus, you are right in my area, its good to have another SC 6-speed around.

315 BFG Drag radials. I could have gotten a better 60ft with a more aggressive launch, but even with hardened shafts on both sides of the rear, I'm scared of trashing something.

Not a drag racer. Been on track one time with my previous setup just to see what the driver could do . 100% street trim just like how I drive my car on the streets with full sound system, 19" rear street tires etc etc. Only exception was 20-22 psi in rear tires.

Did 10.8 @ 138 spinning half way down the track and immediately got kicked out

That's impressive from a true street radial. I did 10.0 with a M/T drag radial, but not with a SC.
