Quarter mile time
I jujst bought a 99 corvette coupe with pariot perfomance stage 2 heads. A comp cam with .571 lift. Full exhaust including texas speed headers, lg motorsport off road x-pipe, and slp loudmouth exhaust. It has 285 nitto 555rs a ls6 intake and a hurst short throw shifter on the 6-speed also a raptor xxl cold air intake. It dynoed at 408 horsepower and 390 ft/pounds of torque. Can anyone estimate the quarter mile time i could run?

Depends on the driver. A guy with a lot of Corvette 6 speed experience could probably easily get into the 11s. These cars are touchy to launch and wheel hop can ruin your whole weekend. I know a couple of guys with way more horsepower than you who are barely into the 11s. If you are serious then seat time is what counts. Good luck I hope you blast off a 11:80 or so first time out. Don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen. The car can do it it's just up to you to pilot it there.

Take it out and have a blast. You time will depend on a lot of things, including driver skill.
