I figured 590 hp area. With your 515 rwhp, stall and gear I will guess a 10.8 @ 130 mph.

Based on not knowing your previous seat time at the track,ill say 11;90@ 125, Now i know what the car is capable of, easily high 10s, But can you get it done on that day at the track??? Good Luck and hope you break into the 10s

He's a waxer, the only time the car will be at the track is when he's at a car show in the parking lot.

He isn't a waxer. He knows how to race. And if it only goes 125, it has problems.........

Yes, I just wrapped up the trans/stall...now we're stuck with triple digit heat. As soon as the temps dump down to reasonable levels, the car will be tracked.

This isn't a 5th gen Camaro, it's a Vette.
