a 1.5 sec 60ft time is really good. I would think that given the set up or HP to get off the line that quickly, the trap speed would be higher than 120.

If you have those two piece of info, shouldn't you have the answer to your ET question? If I had to guess, I'd say maybe in mid-12's or so.

wtf?


a stock C5Z can run 12.4@115 or so...A stock C5Z is not getting out the hole less than 1.8.

I'd say that would be a mid/low 11 run.

My sons 96 Firebird ran 1.56 60 ft 11.58 @ 119.21 mph when we went to pinks in St.Louis a few years ago. That was with a 3500 stall converter leaving off the trans brake.
