Default Track estimates???

I have an idea just want to see if I am thinking in the right area

02 z06
232/240 .596/.604 on a 115
Kooks 1 7/8 headers no cats to borla stingers
Blacking intake
McLeod RST clutch
Pfadt motor and diff mounts
Dte trans brace
Stock wheels with a 315 toyo drag radial out back

100-150 shot plate setup nitrous kit

I'm thinking with decent runs on the 100 shot I'm looking low 11's to high 10's and if I put the 150 pills in I'm looking high to low 10's depending on the how well the run goes

This sound about right?

Two things come to mind...

How many times have you driven this car down the track?

I presume you are talking about the Toyo TQ drag radial? I've seen the 275/40/17 cut good 60' times, never seen an 18" Toyo cut a good 60'. Not saying it can't, I've just never seen it...

Bottom line, get out there and have some fun. Spray or don't spray. Doesn't matter, just get out there.

First time time with this car at the drag strip but plenty of experience at the drags with previous cars and I have plenty of seat time in the Z to feel comfortable

You might want to put a set of good valve springs in to go with the cam and spray.
