Default hp vs. 1/4 mile

I know I've asked similar questions before, this will be the last time :p:

OK, base 97 c5... add to it, blackwing intake, TPIS headers, SLP loud mouth, and the LS6 intake manifold... what kind of hp numbers am I looking at, crank and rear wheel, and what kind of 1/4 mile would this kind of simple simple set up run, oh btw, automatic, and lets say the tires are stock but good as new.

320-330 Rw numbers with those mods IMO.

To a noitceable extent, 1/4 mile time depends on whether your car has the Performance Axle or not. The car should be in the 12s regardless....at ~111 MPH.

dito that!!

12`s for sure and with sticky tires and a good launch you can see up to low 12`s if you´re good.

ok...lemme through my 2 cents in.... depending on the track conditions and if you have 3.15s (previously mentioned Performance Axle) you may be looking at better than just 12s :D

you can check my sig for times and hp/tq #s but you're setup would be like me adding headers and an ls6 instake :D:D:D :cheers:
