Default What should it do?

My uncle was wondering what his '03 Z06 would do at the strip with his current combo. Right now he's running a 404ci LS2 putting down around 485/470. That's through a 3.90 gear and 315/30/18 BFG DRs.

I think with a decent launch he should be in the mid-11s. Anyone else running a similar setup?

With that much power I dont see why you can't do 10s.

very low 11s would me my guess. I always guess on the conservative side there for less dissapointment, or more excitement. good luck

Elevation may be a factor depending on where you live. I ran a high 11 with only 357 rwhp(on those tires) so I would think he should run a high ten or so BUT there is only one way to find out. Those tires may not be enough for that that motor. He may want to try the MT ET Streets. Borrow his car and hit the track.
