1/4 ET Help
My "04" C5 was just dynoed at 475 rwhp. It has a/t w/shift kit and a 3.15 gear w/3200 converter.
I'll be running BFG drag radials.
Assuming all circumstances are right, weather, traction, etc.
What would be your best guess for a 1/4 ET and MPH.
Thanks

Put it this way. . . You better put in the required safety equipment like a roll bar 
or you will only get one run 
. The real answer to your question all depends on track prep, elevation, and drivers experience. Range could be low 12's to low 11's at 125 +/- 3 MPH.
Have fun... but be safe.

Thanks guys!
I've been going to the track a long time, but never with a new car like a vette. I had a low 11's 68 Camaro a couple of years ago but things are so much different with that. I ran a 4.56 gear, open headers and rattled my fricken teeth out of my head. This is why I didn't have a good handle on the capability of my vette with this hp.
As for drag radials I see these guys breaking into the seven 7's & 8's running these. I want to stay away from the ET street etc, until I change my output shafts. I hoping the BFG's hold up seeing the UPS guys tracks are still in my driveway.
