Pete - Great times, congratulations. That's one hell of a stock block LT5. I've always wondered what the ZR1 could do while keeping the stock block, and displacement.
From your discription of the mods, it seemed to me like the car is set up more for racing on the street, from a roll, than a hardcore drag car. But that dream top end that you've built begs for the rest of the car to be tuned to the same level.

You say your best e.t. last year was 11.35 Do you think it could dip into the tens without losing its highway driveability?

You mentioned "front runners". They would probably be good for a tenth.

More tire, and a shorter gear, would bring your 60ft. time down into the low 1.60's giving at least another tenth and 1/2 - to two tenths.

That means you would be banging on the tens with a stock block ZR1, amazing. A little stock block 350, way ahead of most of the 427 lightweight C6 ZO6's

I love to see one of our cars show the flag against the "latest and greatest". Keep up the great work.
