Re: How much HP (c5 devil)
Blackwing - 10-20rwhp
Corsa exhaust - 0 rwhp :(
FLP headers and X pipe - 20-30rwhp
A 99 auto prob has about 290-300rwhp out of the box.
So you're looking at anywhere from 320-350rwhp.
With an auto I would guess you'd be right around 13. Maybe get a 12.9 if you're on the high side hp wise and get lucky with perfect conditions.
Let us know! :chevy :cheers:

Re: How much HP (c5 devil)
The general consensus is that you will get approximately 30-35 rear wheel HP from a Black wing and a set of FLPs. The Corsas are just ear candy, but I would not give mine up.

If you are going to 3.42 rear = yank 3500 or vig 3000.
I am currently running a Yank 3000 and 3.42, a awesome street setup I have not been to the track yet but with the ls1edit it pulls awesome. My best without the 3.42 is a 12.53 at 111 on street tires. I am guessing low 12 on street tires and maybe a high 11 on dr.

Re: How much HP (Steve02C5)
My friend, to get into the low 11's, Hp is important . My experience shows you'll need ~475 - 500 rwhp to get lo 11's.
Good luck. :cheers:

I have to disagree you don't need to have 475-500 RWHP to run the 11s. More like 375-400 RWHP. There have even been a few forum members who have dipped into the 11s with engines with stock internals and just bolt on's. Forum member Mikie C has run 11.88 and his motor still has stock internals. If you have an A4 a really good T/C and the right gearing and tires these mods will do wonders for your cars performance. The samething can be said for an M6 with the right gearing and tires.[Modified by MC98, 11:51 AM 2/8/2003]

Re: How much HP (Steve02C5)
The most srteetable version to get into the 11s is going to be very expensive. When you see a vette run 11s on stock tires this is most impressive because that's what you get at the redlight. If you look at most of the pictures of vettes in the 10s and 9s, they will usually use drag radials and other 1/4 mile focused parts to get there. These cars will never run like they do at the strip on the road and visa versa. Think about where you want the performance to be first and go for it. It's going to cost a pretty penny either way.

I was thinking he wanted to get into the LOW 11's; perhaps a little less HP with hi stall and drag radials, but not much. :cheers:
