Default My Zero to 60 mph is 3.53 seconds

According to my HP Tuner log I ran a 0-60 mph in 3.532 seconds with a 1.843 60'.

Not much better than what stock Corvette can do. I have headers, intake, tune and udp. This factory torque converter is very tight. My launch rpm at 100% throttle was 1543 rpm. Peak torque of 4600 rpm came in at 30 mph. Did manage an 11.51 @ 120.3 mph 1/4 mile.

Ah, I didn't know you had an underdrive pulley...did you put it on yourself? Do you know measureable gains from that alone?

Isn't 3.5 about a half second quicker to 60 than stock? I wouldn't say that's too bad while retaining the stock converter and street tires.

According to one of the online racing calculators my 0-60 is roughly 2.58 seconds but I don't believe that those are totally accurate.

Can't say for sure how much the pulley added Floyd. I did dyno back when I had the Z06 manifolds without the pulley and recorded 409 rwhp. I then gutted the Z06 cats and added the pulley and dynoed 427 on the same dyno and in almost the same ambient temperature. Although the correction should compensate. So I gained 18 hp from gutted cats and UDP. If you assume each gave the same then I got 9 rwhp from the pulley.

I have high flow cats with my headers now and have not dynoed again.

Got a link. I'll calculate mine.

FWIW, I ran Larry's time through what I assume is the same calculator you used and it showed his time as being a little more than 2 tenths quicker. It's close enough to get a very good idea, but not totally accurate.

That calculator showed mine at 3.2 seconds....damn your 1.5 60s

Thanks for the info.

And did you install it yourself? To put an UDP on is pretty labor intensive in these cars isn't it?

I'm curious just how far off it is from an actual HP Tuners log/scan.

Ah, so you did use a different calculator.

The one you posted shows me 0-60 at 2.97 seconds, which I believe is quite generous versus the calculator I posted up showing me at 3.232.

Shows my 0-60 2.82. Not sure I believe that.

Floyd, Couldn't find the a value in your link. I did not install the pulley myself. Kurt (98Aggie) installed it for me and did the dyno. He's just outside of Victoria. Great guy to work with.

It put my runs from this past weekend at 3.26 sec.

My 1/8 mile times... 1.88 60' 7.813 @ 92.89.... sweet!

The way my car has such a variable acceleration I don't think any of the formulas will give an accurate 0-60 bases on 1/8 mile time/speed. I launch very slowly until about 3000 rpm when the power decides to start. Somewhat like turbo acceleration. I tend to believe my HP Tuner log to be the more accurate.

So what was it about my link that didn't work for you, Larry?

http://home.earthlink.net/~vortmax96/Z28/0-60time.xls

I can click on it and use it without any issues and it gives more accurate times (I have used it in the past with my Fbody when I had HPtuners for it to compare it to).

You should just click on the link, click open, enter your 60, 330, 1/8, 1000 and 1/4 ET and then input the new A and B value that it creates into the A and B field (the new values will be right above the graph)

Me too, though even that likely isn't exact.

I still think you're doing something wrong with it. When I input the information from your timeslip you posted I get 3.282 seconds.

Your A and B numbers should be 6.3438 and 46.358.

Your speedometer would have to be accurate and with zero tire spin for the HPT to be accurate.

They say third times a charm. You are correct, 3.282 seconds.

In the end...you can safely say your car is capable of low-mid 3 second 0-60 blasts. I think that's what we can say from this thread, ha ha.
