If I EVER get my FrankenBenz SEC done, we may be able to answer that. I had a shop dyno the stock SEC (194 rwhp) and once the LS6 is in there, that same shop will dyno it again. Then, with a GTech Pro, we'll have acceleration numbers. According to my GPS unit, I live at 2100' MSL. With some temperature and barometric pressure data, it's possible to to adjust to sea level figures. There will be some place that can get me an accurate weight value of the car, then we have all of "F=MA" and can compare apple to apples.

Now THAT I would like to do! All I need to do is finish the car!!

I'm working in DC at the moment and looks like I'll be here for a month or more. I can pay for more parts this way but no chance to work on my car. :-(
