I can see a high 12s', if you know how to drive on the track. My buddy with shorties, 3.23, same size cam, 2800 stall ran 12.9 on slicks. Get some slicks and hit the track, and I would say you might be around the 315-325 rwhp range.

Id say low 13's possible high 12's...that 2400 stall is killing you, thats barely higher then stock

With sticky tires and a 1.80 or 1.70 60 foot you should hit high 12s pretty easily.

Re: will i run 12s with these mods

Without any head work, I would say 300 rwhp with the wind blowing in your direction. If you have most bolt-ons installed and a mild port/valve job with a tune on a 350...I wouldn't expect your dyno numbers over 325. Is the car an A4 or a M6....with 3.73's most auto's hit overdrive before you trap. If track conditions are good, and you can drive better than someone appearing in the special olympics...very low 13's. My brother had your setup a few years back, 2.00 1.57 valves and a rather aggressive port on a 377...dyno'd 308 rwhp. He ran 13.2 on stock tires, and a 2600 stall. His opti-crap was messed up...spark was breaking up above 5000 rpm. Didn't figure on more than 330rwhp after spark was cleared up.

Re: will i run 12s with these mods

i say with slicks you can get low 13s i have a 2800 stall and a bigger cam and get 12.9x but i run 3.42s I have never been run down by someone runing 373s with the same power out put so i dont realy think there to much better. But you may need some more stuff. But it all depends. i would say 310rwhp tops .

Good luck

Re: will i run 12s with these mods

My daily driver has more mods than that on a 355...and if someone can squeeze below a 12.3 out of it (without nitrous)....I'll show you a green dog! Professional drivers are squeezing 12.2's out of the 2004 Z06...

Re: will i run 12s with these mods

don'e be afraid to go with a looser converter and more gear. I was able to run a 12.97 without even pulling the vavle covers... in a 4200# impala SS. Maybe the 1.699 and 1.709 sixty foot times and awesome weather had something to do with it?

Re: will i run 12s with these mods

With some good tires and granted the car is running at its full potential(good tune, everything set up correctly)... Id say its very likely.

300rwhp gets you somewhere around 365-380hp at the flywheel. A Z06 weighs about 400 and some change less, and is producing 405hp at the flywheel. Something just isn't adding up. Maybe if the Camaro was stripped of all extra weight. Still highly doubt it. It would have to be ideal conditions and someone who can really lauch the car.

I am making about the same rwhp as the 04 ZO6 and am almost in the 11s without the heads ever coming off on Nitto drag radials. Its not always how much power you are making, but how well your mods compliment each other and traction. Weather will also play a huge roll in it. When I got my best it was 60 and somewhat humid and an elevation of 1200'. I am sure if it was in the low 50s or high 40s I would have gotten into the 11s.

Back on topic: I am sure that if you hook up you should be able to break into the high 12s.

u must have a damn slow car. like i posted; edelbrock shorties, UD pulley, 52mmtb, cai, 3.42's, 2800 vigi stall, hotcam with 1.6rr's and lt1 edit tune to accompany the hotcam. he also has other simple free mods. stock weight, even both back seats pulled 12.39 @108 here in indiana. no pro driver either. the car belongs to a guy i know. it is a consistant 12.5 car and squeezed out a few 12.4's with a best 12.39. thats on stock heads and intake. this time was on ET streets with ROH ZS 17x8.5 wheels on the front. these are known as relatively heavy wheels. only other thing i can think of on that car, is of course a rebuilt trans to hold the power and short times. think he pulled 1.75 short times or somewhere close.

Re: will i run 12s with these mods

buddy has 94z28 t-56
midlength hearder/hiflow Y / borla
hotcam 1.6rrs
3.42
stock heads
stock bottom end
10bolt and slicks

so with bigger stall maybe 2800-3000 12s will be no prolem
