New C6 Owner Setup Question
I would like to ask for some advice regarding a setup i'm currently working on. This vehicle is my weekend driver and occasionally will see some drag passes, I would like to keep the car very street friendly so all input would be appreciated it. I'm in the process of gathering all my parts in which some I have already bought.
2005 Corvette C6 4l65 LS2 3.15 gear setup
Vararam Snake chamber intake (bought)
3.42 gears (bought)
tsp 228r 110 LSA cam with valve train (pending)
tsp long tubes and X pipe (pending)
zr1 injectors and e85 tune (pending)
Fast 102 intake manifold (pending)
ZEX Wet nitrous setup 100 shot (bought)
160 Tstat (bought)
Basically looking for some high 11's slips all motor and maybe a low 11 second pass on nitrous. Really trying to stay away from adding a torque converter I would really like to keep that untouched.

a torque converter is without a doubt the best mod you can do to drag race a LS powered car. Hands down.
check out the speed engineering headers, I have heard that the tsp headers hang down a little too much.

You need to rethink your cam choice. That's a really old one and cam technology has advanced quite a bit since the debut of that one. Have Pat G spec you one for your rig using more modern lobes and a better set of specs. Not sure ZR1 injectors will play nice on an LS2 or a FAST intake manifold for an LS2. I think the spray pattern is different.
