Thanks! All my runs have been at this track previously known as US131 Dragway in Martin,Mi. Not bad for an A6 car with only K/N and tune only

2007 M6 z51 w/vararam & tb spacer, corsa sport, stock tires ran 12.64@113.1 1.99 60' w/1,500 miles on the car no tune (never dynoed)

Well I finally took my car to byron IL to run it again after installing LG headers with high flow cats, Ported intake and throttle body, and a speed inc tune(3500 miles). After adding these I put down 391rwhp 392rwtq.
I also added some 17inch mickey thompson Drag radials (no sensors but had other rims there so I didnt get a service tire monitor light). I must say after owning a fbody and launching hard on drag radials with that this is no easy thing to do in a corvette, its taking me some time to get used to it but I ran the car 6 times I was pretty consistant but couldnt launch it just right, I ran the tire pressure at 20 lbs all day, (reason im worried about launching the car hard is I saw my friend running these tires at the track in a 06 vette m6 making 418rwhp crack his rear diff so im weary about hard launches in this car). So I was running consistant 12.2 @116 mph w/1.9 60' there was a nasty headwind all day as well. But I finally got the hang of it and pulled a best of 11.98 @116.44 mph with a 1.77 60' im very happy I got my 11 but there is room for improvement I know especially with the nasty head wind.


Video isnt the greatest quality (used a digital camera, i forgot my vid camera )

What rims are you guys using with the 17" MT's? I need the best tire to use that won't cause any issues and I won't go to a set of CCW's just for a few passes a year at the track.

I use c5 front wheels, that I had from my old car. They work fine. z06 rims are better but more pricey.

I run 17 X 9.5 c6 z06 chrome rims from a vendor on CF.

Yes, they fit fine and clear. They are a bit shorter in heighth in comparison to the stock 19's making me shift quicker thus shortening my gears but its perfect i am well into fourth gear at the end of the quarter mile. I def. recommend with the stock z51 gearing goin with the m/t 17 inch 275 DR's
