Guys are running 11.7 with stock Z06's making 370rwhp , so I suspect with great driving 410rwhp or so maybe even less.

S. Florida a tough place to run great numbers. Do you mean you want to be able to run low 11s in all weather conditions?

I agree with the above, in excellent weather conditions you can get there with 410-415 RWHP. If you are taking about low 11s even in hot humid weather you are talking 440-450 RWHP.

aside from the HP game dont forget to get sticky tires, hardened output shaft, tranny brace, and a good clutch if you want things to last..... about 450 and you'll be good to go....

Robz ran 10.96 with 433 RWHP in his Z06.

I have 417 and can only run mid 11's. I guess it depends on the driver

I think average driver will need above 435 rwhp and lots of traction....

400rwhp + good gearing + et streets + good DA can equal low 11s.

When my car was "cam only", I ran 11.28 at 122 with about 400rwhp, 1.51 60 foot. It will take a great, near rev limiter launch to accomplish it. Be prepared to release at 6000 rpms or greater....
