What will it run?
2001 C5 Vert, 6 speed w/ 3.42's, 232/234 cam, LG Streets w/ cats, Volant CAI, Z06 size rear tires, 376 RWHP.
Any guesses? I'm testing it tonight and don't really know the car w/ the new cam and how to launch it yet.

I assume you got it tuned-- the cam reuires tuning and usually you will get little HP gains without tuning for the LT's
But if it was dynoed then you must have tuned it--
With 376 RWHP it is very difficult to predict--A 6 speed take a lot more to lauch consistantly--and your times could be all over the map---
depends also on your tires----You would need some drag radials to get good 60' times and not spinn at launch--I would guess you would need to launchit at 3000-4000 to get a good time and have traction as well--
A 6 speed is tricky---Not enough RPMs at launchn-itwill be lazy and slow ---Too much and it will spin horribly--
If this is your 1st time with the car it will take some practice
My guess fir your 1st pass you may be in the 13.0 range
As you get better you may get it in the middle /lower 12's

I got 3 passes in before the car broke, lol. Drivers side injector fuse blew. I need bigger injectors and haven't put them in yet.
Best time was 12.52 at 113.8mph
The car has A LOT left in it, this was a relatively mild launch and shifting before 6000rpm.
With better tires and the rev limiter lifted, its a low low 12 second car.
