Make that two emails!
On the other side of the coin, you have me.
Been to the track less than 10 times in my life, only twice with this car. Best I could get was a 12.4 on street tires and trapping right at 120 mph.
ZMAX Dragway is practically worthless for traction and I don't plan to return unless I borrow some sticky tires.
I'm also having a problem with my engine losing power after 5,500 rpm, it kind of bogs down but didn't do that on the dyno. That being said, at best on slicks I'm probably good for high 11s in the low 120s

With 475rwhp it'd probably be at least mid 120s, probably 127-129mph with good air. Your time will depend very largely on your available traction and your ability to drive. Could be anywhere from a very high 10 (unlikely) to a low 12. Probably somewhere in the middle.

Six speed numbers I assume?
Forget about 10's....thats much closer to best case scenario with a well sorted out car and very aggressive run. A small percenatage of the cars in the high 400's run 10's IMO (granted some obviously do).
And high 120's aint happening either (unless your running in seriously good air....way below sea level corrected conditions...negative 1500-2000 feet).
Low or mid elevens (with a six speed) and traps in the 124-125 range is much more realistic at say 1000 foot positive D/A (average air quality....not great....not horrible)....and you still need good traction and good driver skills to pull that off as well.
Here's 475 RWHP in a 3400 lb C5....
In-car vid of an 11.20's run at 124 MPH....about 1500 D/A at the time.
Should get you psyched for the swap....LOL

I have a pending sale on my Fbody and if things work out I will have a C5 with 475rwhp shortly. I have searched around and can't seem to find what quarter times a vette typically yields with this power. I would be putting some Mickey Thompsons drag radials on. I am just looking for a ballpark.
Thanks
