i went 13.1@107 with a 2.0 60' time bone stock with the exception of a cyclone cold air intake on my 85k mile 2000 frc. I would say low 12's with those mods mentioned.

Well, considering the fact that someone did 12.6 on a near-stock FRC with drag radials (as per a recent post in C5 performance results), you're probably looking at low 12's if you get a perfect launch.

I'm 12'77 with catback and intake, and run flats with my 99 (non FRC)
the frc is lighter, so faster.

With headers, ls6, intake = +30/40 hp = -0.3/-0.4 = 12'3/12'4
with drag tires ... definitively low 12 !

Please tell me your joking.

I ran 12.5@112mph with only a Vararam intake and stock Zo6 exhaust. Everything else was stock down to the worn our runflats and only managed a 1.95 60foot.

With those mods it should be a low 12sec car with a solid 60foot.

These factors sure can make a big difference in time and speed.. Most of these numbers look almost too good.. But hey... who knows... We have Forum members that can tachout in 4th at 252 mph with a few bolt ons

If you add a "performance" hood seal, you're easily mid 11's.

Thats awsome I was hoping it would run low 12 range. Is it possible with with pulley and gears to hit high 11's.

The 2002 z06 with 405 hp ran 12.5@116 bone stock... Motor Trend and Car and Driver Magazines.. Look at the mph.. The car was probably burning rubber through 1st and 2nd with the Goodyear Run craps

I would invest in drag radials too, and then high 11's are probable

Internet racing is pointless........go out and let us know how you do. Most of the above think that low 12's are possible, but I'll disagree and say that you'll be in the mid to high 12's at best. Stock tires will be your biggest weak link. If you go to a good drag tire setup, then I think you can reach low 12's.

Adding gears doesn't really improve 1/4 times that much and an underdrive pulley only adds a few hp. Too much gearing can also hurt you. Not going to get you into the 11's on stock tires. Sorry.

Now, get on that track and let us know how you make out.
