Bought an '04 Corvette coupe last spring that I want to begin running in C/PS next spring. Bone stock (with our luggage in the back) it ran 13.3 at Ennis this summer at Super Chevy. Index is 12.75. Horsepower and AFHS is very favorable for the LS1 in a C5 as opposed to the Camaro/Firebird. I've since added a nice cold air kit, Z06 cat back, and tune. Should be in the high 12s or right at 13.0. I'm thinking a gear change and TC this winter will put it solidly under the index and I'll still drive to the track with the AC on. Heck, there is a guy in Florida that drives his to the track and easily runs under the D/SA index in NHRA.

Should be no problem. I have several stock LS1 F body customers running under your index, with heavier cars. A couple with stock gears & converters.

Reading www.corvetteforum.com they have an ET list and there are many, many under the index with only bolt-ons and a ton more than a second under. I think the quickest one is in the low 11s which is more than 1.5 under. I'm thinking about going with a 4.10 gear and Yank SS or PT4000 since it's not a daily driver.
