I don't know what math you're using but something is out of whack. HOw you got a 3400# car to go 12's/108 on ~320chp is something that I can't wrap my head around. You have a 75 shot in there that you didn't mention?

Hey Tom,dynojet print out reads 289.27 max power & 310.20 max torque. It was not the operators first rodeo, and I would guess he would want to feed my head with big numbers cause I pay in cash. The numbers may not be correct I don't know. I baby sat the car at the dyno & looked over his sholder, and I drove the car at maple grove.I have a dyno print out & a time slip. So 3400lbs + 289.27hp = 12.37 et & 108.96 . Whats wrong with my math ?

C6's (as an example) weigh ~3200 lbs + 400chp(or ~350whp on average) and run at best, 12.2x's and up.

So how do you add 200 lbs, take away ~60 rwhp, and still run about the same times?
If you're accomplishing those numbers with that hp, then that is fantastic. Numbers are great either way. Fast car you've got there.

Well, I guess that is one efficient drive train! Amazing numbers. My stock LT1/M6/3.45 just did 278/312 at the wheels, so down 11hp/up 2tq from you, and it weighs closer to 3200 (stick/stripper car). It might go 12.999999999999999 at sea level. But to go .7 quicker than that w/11 more hp and more weight is impressive. That car is dialed in!
