On nitrous, I managed a 1.43 60' and ran a 6.40@112 in the 1/8 mile. Never made it back to a 1/4 mile track cuz my tranny and diff took a sh*t. I'm just curious as to how you get an ls6 that is STOCK to trap this kind of mph. Those number look like when I had a small shot on my car.

Rob you may want to get your Z to the scales and put the # out. Sounds like the better you and your Z does the more posts may come like years ago. OR just do what you and your team does best..

I'm not hating at all. Just curious on his set up. Keep swinging bud...

i wasn't pointing any fingers, sorry if it came out that way but it generally comes to some kind of accusations when a car goes fast most people dont understand you can take a modded car with average effort and the same car with max effort and get unbelievable times

Stock really needs defined. I suspect it doesn't mean "never been apart"
Also, note "significant weight removal".
There are a few calculators that will tell you how much crank hp it takes to run either the ET or MPH based on weight.
So, just a SWAG here, car weight is 2600-2700lbs. (maybe lighter)
Which puts the crank hp around 500 which seems doable for a carefully blueprinted LS6.
