Go to page one of the "Official C5 1/4-mile times" -- the sticky at the top of this thread.
You might try the Corvette listings at Dragtimes.com.

i looked at both and it didnt give specific hp ratings. i know the same setup could yield different power results. the reason being is i am wanting to get deep into the 11's probably around an 11.5 is my goal but i am not sure exactly what it will take to get there.

i know when i had the ///m i was putting down around 550 to the wheels and ran an 11.1 @129 but i know they are a couple hundred pounds heavier than the frc's

There are wayyy too many variables to give an accurate answer to that question.

=p

Head and cam package or go F/I =) and you shouldn't have to worry about your 1/4 mile time unless you are on a budget then you might want to state that. Best shot is to contact a local performance shop and see what they can put together for your car and take in consideration pre-existing mods.

just a general range
400rwhp--10.8-12.0
500rwhp--10.0-11.5
depending on tons of variables.
