Scott, make sure it's not a Z. Not too hard to make it look normal...

Ok scottacus. heres the deal..
properly build c5 vette with heads, assuming your talkign about the coupe and not the hardtop (hardtop's come with less options and weigh about 300lbs less), assuming the best of everything you listed (long tube headers, not shorties), the car should go roughly 12.20@120. Thats my estimate. Give or take edepends on tire/suspension. You just need to watch out becasuse those cams can make a LOT of power. Theres the magic stick which a lot of the lsx guys are using and the gains are rediculous.
And to know it all below me, the 01 z06's came with 385hp while the 02, 03, 04 z06's came with 405. Different variations of the ls6. c5 coupe on stock rubber with the right driver will go high 12's all day long. who are you kidding? an auto z28 ls1 pig will do mid 13's.

and im mostly basing my time estimates on what i have seen, and i live in colorado, the track elevation is 5,200 ft. and auto ls1 z28's run low 14's here, and a gs-r with bolt ons runs high 16's cars are severly affected by the elavation, unless they are boosted, this helps reverse the altitude effects...

haha i think its funny when people talk about nitrous like its not much at all. Ive seen some of these domestic guys running 300+ hp shots of nitrous in a stage or 2. Some guys even run fogger systems and a plate system
