Default Are 11's possible ???

2000 FRC - on stock runflats with a Vararam intake and Zo6 exhaust I ran 12.5@112mph with a 1.955 60foot.

Now I have installed LGstreet headers and got a tune. It put down 342whp & 360wtq corrected and 285 nitto 555 street tires are going on before I hit the track.

What do you guys think? Could extremely high 11's be possible with this setup?

It would have to be one great launch, but I still dont think so,

I would think low 12's

I see most cars on this sight in the upper 11's are putting down at least 380 rwhp.

But, ya never know.

Ranger did it in a stock C5 Z making similar power as yours, but not sure if he did it on runflats. I don't think so, but that gent can drive.

Of course its possible. A buddy of mine did that in a Mustang Roush, with gears and intake, but that was on an 1/8 mile.

I say no!!! Now if you said you were running a set of ET streets or M&H's or something and you were a driving SOB at a well prepped track, close to sea level with a tail wind with perfect weather maybe.

I know traction is going to be a big issue with street tires. I won't worry too much about et my first time out with headers. What I am curious about is how much more mph I will pick up at the end of 1/4.

I'll be satisfied if I picked up 3-4mph at the end of 1/4. Can you guys see that happen???

I don't see why not? Perhaps some drag radials would help hook it a little and that should be enough.

My bone stock '04 Z ran a best of 12.25@117 factory stock(right down to the air filter) and probably dyno's around 360RWHP.

Grab some drag radials and have at it!

I doubt on run-flats, throw a set of stickies on and give it a shot. My 03 went 11.87 with DRs, Halltech and no mufflers.

depends on the track and the air! Here in Arizona i have pulled 11.8 in my 03 Z06. I have LG Pro long tubes,Halltech cold air intake,B&B Bullet catback and Dyno tune. But on days here when the DA is 3500 plus i only get 12.0!
