Times?
Quick question for the experts.
How fast should a C5 with my bolt-ons go (see signature below) in the 1/4 mile on a 50-60 degree, 50-60% humidity, 0-1000ft pressure altitude day and 1/4 tank gas, great launch with:
a) stock tires
b) drag radials
C) full drag slicks
Thanks gigantically in advance

My car with the same mods (A4 and I have shorties) ran a 12.7 consistently in the same condition as your specs listed on street tires, so with slicks or drag radials I would have to say 12.5 maybe lower if you get good traction!

Sorry, I may have posted this in the wrong section... I'm going to post this in the "C5 Perf Results" section as well. However if you have a quick answer feel free to reply.
Pardon my stupidity in advance

Evil thanks for posting.
Great Launch meaning in the neighborhood of 1.6-1.65 60'.
Lets add that one nails every shift point as well. (please don't ask me to define nails :0)
No hardened output shaft Evil, and again, only with mods as listed in signature below. What would one expect to see with the three different tire setups?
Much thanks
Matt

Forget the slicks without hardened shafts..
drag radials could get you to 1.5 @ 60 but you are pushing the stock shafts.
you already know how street tires perform..
12.5 /12.4 a couple of tenths one way or the other depends on how consistent you are as a driver and how consistent the car is..
No one could give you an exact answer.
