Driving the car on the road it feels like it could pick up the front wheels at will, but it just won't pull any better numbers. That's why I have the engine out and going with a different cam.
And, no offense taken at all. This is how we help each other. I always welcome imput from others. I've been doing this for over 40 years and the day you think you know it all you should stop doing it because you're only fooling yourself.

Yes, we were asked to wait until Chevrolet Performance reintroduced the Cold Air Intake. The reason for the "mystery" title was because someone made a video and posted on BigKleib34 and we were unable to answer questions regarding that run until now. As the post states, we took it a step further than just the Cold Air Intake and removed the passenger seat and spoiler for the fun of it (modified class).

Crazy how I have 800+ whp on a stage 1 Z06 and have never came close to 147 mph in the 1/4. I say something funky is going on here. What happened to the "GM " secret part you couldn't tell us about until June? The CAI has been released already months ago. I do not buy it at all.

There are a couple of guys “wfarmer” and “fartpipe” that have been on the forum for years and have posted great times in c5’s 6’s and 7’s. I may be incorrect in my recollection but I think fartpipe cracked 10 seconds in a stock c6zr1 with just drag radials. Put the wheel of your car in the hands of one of these guys and once they learn the car and track who knows what your car would do.
fartpipe as I recall has had c7’s , gtr’s and went back to the c6z06 as it was a more fun car to him to blast down the track with.

James - See if you can find us a 1/4 mile track rental around DFW. Lets get a few of the boys rounded up and go check it out. you have your 800 plus WHP Z06. I have My 2019 ZR1 with CAI. we can slip some DRs or hoosiers on it. If any of you guys are around close lets go experiment.

Chevrolet Performance asked us to wait because they were reintroducing the Cold Air Intake. This run was under very good conditions (look at the DA). The same car in June 2018 with the Cold Air Intake with a DA +1500 ran 10.19/136.5...….Most important: I've been running C7's since 2014, having made 100's of passes, you get a feel for these cars and our runs are not by accident. We always seek out the best conditions and for all the good runs, there are many more that disappoint. Thank you
Farmer, please don't take what I say as a personal hit, but I have 100's of passes as well , maybe 200+ at various events since 2015. I've owned 4 C7 Z06s and hope you expect and understand the skepticism from not only me, but others that have and will chime in. You definitely pick the fast tracks for sure. If all up and up... bad *** my friend. I'd be the first one to buy you a beverage of choice if ever in the same area. Cheers.
What size front wheels you running?

That is where Matthew Owens in his C7 Z06 from Dedicated Motorsports went 9.271 @ 148.56 in -125 DA and I am guessing about 800-810 whp.

Yeah, no worries. I have an 800+ whp C7 Z06. I have seen C7 Z06s with seats taken out., full 15" drag radials, front skinnies, stage 1 aero, and better DA than what he had and 820 whp run 148 mph. Something just does not add up unless the track is downhill, a 50 mph tailwind, or timing device error. No way a car with sub 700whp is going to trap 147 mph.
