Default Mods for a 115mph trap?

Hey guys. I am thinking about purchasing a C5 6spd and was wondering what they will trap with full exhaust and tune? What is needed to run a 113-115 trap mph in the 1/4? Can it be achieved with stock heads and cams? NA?

I trapped 12.45-12.70s @114mph...

Mods were

Hoozier 315 drag radials (17 inch)
Vararam
Ls6 Intake (stock LS1 TB)
Comp 228/228 116lsa
Corsa catback

So not many mods and I was a fresh 6 speed driver. (2-3 months experience)

My 2000 Vette (6 speed) had a trap speed of 113.14 MPH (12.9 @ 113.14). The only mods were 4.10 gears, Z06 cat back,LS6 Intake manifold and a VaraRam Air Intake. I think it would have done better if I wasnt running on street tires (Kumho's).

You should be close to that speed stock. Just spin your tires more off the line and you'll trap higher ha ha.

Ok but Long tubes, intake and a tune for starters.

With my 03 M6 coupe with only a vortex rammer intake and borla stinger mufflers I hit a 12.8 at 112 IIRC, it may have been 114.

That goal is easy with just basic bolt-ons.... with an intake/ LT headers/ ti exhaust and a retune I ran 12.2 @114mph on street tires.... and that was with a slushbox.....

to give you an idea, below is a portion of the C5 quick 1/4 mile list.... these times were with bolt-ons only....

3) 11.620 @ 118.29 - YeloFevr Details
4) 11.62x @ 114.75 - Face Details
5) 11.752 @ 116.04 - Mark-44 Details/slip
6) 11.788 @ 115.10 - deathstrike Details
