I got you. It took me alittle while to figure out the best launch with out spin, now I've got it down. Though once I do my engine swap and put down some serious hp I'm sure I will have to start all over again and find that point.

So what's you best 1/4 mile times in your vette?

Yeah launches are an art form. I always start around 13.4 then every run after that gets a little better. With the tires hot and the engine warmed up it did 13.1

If that's correct, the calculator... That means my 0-60, with my old tune... is 4.44 seconds. o.o

Your HP computed from your 60 Foot Time of 2.039 at Weight of 3750 pounds is 759.56 HP.

lmfao... Chevy.. I'm convinced these "calculator's" are a bunch of crap! Or... that I have a 759.56 HP Mustang.

LOL...

I didn't say ALL the calculators are good!!!

The 0-60 sounds about right for you though and I trust it. Remember you're at the track and hooking and launching much better than on the street. I would believe a 4.44 0-60 given a couple 1/10's for margin of error.

One of my buddy's has a new C6 z06 with CAI and a corsa Cat back it
did a cosistent 3.42 0-60! The car did cost him 75,000$ big ones though. He has appropriately named it the Viper killer.
I still think that a stock Ford GT would walk on him.

I should hope a 3.3 second, 140k + car should walk on it... Though you do minor work to the GT and ... yeah. That's shredding rubber off the tires fast. lol.
