Default Corvette C6 Z06 With Light Mods Aims for 9-Second Pass



We've covered some extreme Z06s here at Corvette Forum, which are setting the drag strip ablaze with sensational quarter mile times, but what about a regular Z06 with only a few light mods?

I dont know if I would call a cammed C6 Z one with "light mods"???

Either way, 10.3 on a car with cam and sticky tires isnt great. There are several bolt on cars much faster than that.

Is the Roadkill Charger sitting in the lane behind this Z06?

That's my boys car..he just went 10.07 @138 this past weekend. First time taking the car out in a little over a year so still shaking off the Cobb webs but hes definitely looking for that 9 sec slip while this weather is cool.

Hey guys. This is actually my car.

The car isn't lightly modded. I was one of the unlucky people to drop a valve 3 years ago so the car has a built 427 from ERL. Rick & Ryan at Synergy Motorsports built the car. Kind of an interesting build because we went with Cathedral TrickFlow heads. Car makes 572hp/548tq.

The video was taken a couple weeks ago and these were the first 3 passes I had made in over a year. I made another 3 passes in the car this past saturday and was able to hit a 10.07 @ 138.07 with some great weather and a 1.45 60ft. Going to make a couple tweaks to the car and head back to try for a 9 Sec pass.

Here is the details of the build: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...t-list-98.html

Here is the shop that did the work: http://store.synergymotorsports.net/

If you would like to follow progress of the car my instagram is

nice runs. Modest dyno numbers. I'm guessing their dyno is a tad conservative? I really miss my 427 after seeing that video; it was dark blue. Great looking car.

Several bolt-on cars out of 35K Z06's... there are 14 of them with similar mods that are faster. With more work on the heads/intake side, 3.90 gears and slicks, this car could be deep in to the 9's on the rightly prepped track.

Cam only + headers running 10.3's is really good. We need to see the DA for this track when it ran the 10.3.

Bolt-on cars with gears holds a record of around 9.8 or something like that with the best DA a track can offer. The fastest cam only M6 recorded is a 9.6 run which had negative DA but also had a strong headwind...

A 10.0x is a great pass whenever someone is rowing the gears.
Congrats.

Hey Kevin,
Here has been what has been submitted to the Fast List.
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1591198676
The owner, not the OP, identifies himself above in post #6 and states that they are not light mods. His build makes some good power.

Yes that is interesting. I think that head is good for bringing the power down on the power curve, which is evident when you consider the HP/TQ ratio above. Hardly ANY LS7 castings make that much TQ on a NA setup (at least on pump fuel).

572 hp? On a real mustang dyno maybe? If so then over 600rwhp on a dynojet or pack..Must be cause theres alot of money spent for 572 dynojet hp. A trap of 138 mph says its 600rwhp all day on a dynojet
