Default Fastest LT1 C4??

Is there a list somewhere?? I'd like to know what kind of times they are running....

I am helping tune/build my friend's C4 now...so far its gone a 9.8 in the 1/4....

Got some trick things we are doing now to hopefully improve on that...

Thanks,
Paul

Basic: 383ci AFR heads, custom solid roller cam. 2 stage Nitrous setup.
Still 6 speed with the IRS.

Going with some Dart Pro heads (converted for reverse cooling), Victor Jr. Intake for use with EFI, and a different nitrous setup.
I am also building some "big" 1 7/8" longtubes!

Hoping to get some solid 9.60's @ over 150mph...
Car is a true street car too...still has A/C, powersteering, etc...nothing taken out (yet)....

I know we were pretty fast for being an LT1 C4...I just wasn't sure where we stood with the rest of the guys...

I´ve took my c4 to the strip today and made a 12.43 120mph with street tires 275/45-17.

On first, second, third gear not so well with the grip.
Hope to do a low 12 or high 11 with slicks.

Not the fastest c4, but pretty fast with no slicks I belive.

That's great Andreas! With that kind of mph you should be able to run 11's on some sticky tires...

What were your 60 foots??? What's your combo?? All motor??

That's true. 1/4 mile should be titled "quickest"
