Default track predictions?

not really sure what kind of times i should expect/aim for

99 FRC. stock suspension. stock height.

performance mods:

231/237 .589/.595 112 LSA
Patriot Stage 2 heads (59cc)
Fast 92 intake/Ported LS2 TB/Blackwing
Kooks LTs/Kooks ORx open
DTE Brace
LS7 clutch/LS2 Flywheel/C6Z shifter
3.73 gears
Dynotune Wet 100 Shot

haven't decided on a tire/rim combo so lets assume a 60' of around 1.75

i know what an F-Body would run with a set up like this, but how do the vettes do?

The biggest problem I see is the ls7 clutch.
Joe 2000Whitec5 ran 10.0-10.2 on a 100shot with a heads/cam auto and 3.73 gears.
Make your first goal a 10.9x and see how the clutch hold and how much it may be holding you back.
It will be tougher to drive/et with a stick.

You had better start budgeting for a new clutch sometime in the near future.With your set up the HP/TQ will make short work of the LS7 clutch...not to mention the additional negitive effect the nitrous hit will have on that clutch.

As long as he is not on the kit out of the hole the clutch should be fine.

Not for long he wouldn't.The LS7 clutch is fine for stock or moderately built motors.His mods have exceeded a moderately built application.The LS7 clutch is **** to glazing without to much slipping of the clutch during a high HP/TQ launch.
