LS7's running under 2.00 60' times

LS7 Z06.

Traction control off. Shallow stage, what RPM works best for you if your running under a 2.00 sixty foot time? Thanks.

the best i can get out of mine is between 2.12- 2.09 60fts. Launching at only 1500-1800 rpm. any higher than that i wheel hop.

I use drag radials but still get some wheel hop too. My QS C5-Z06 never got wheel hop unless I used the stock tires. Watch your rear inner drive shaft grease seal joints if you get wheel hop. I applied a coat of silicone around mine to stop it from throwing grease after they replaced the whole shaft assy. as a precaution.

How hard you can launch and at what rpm will depend on how well the track is prepped. On my local slip and slide (I swear it's prepped with sand and butter) I got a 1.98 by launching at 2,000 rpm. Quick release and don't add gas till it starts to hook, then roll in to the gas. Any more agressive a launch than that and it would spin till the top of second gear.
