I would think that high 11's @ 120+ in street trim with a decent driver is what most people will see. There is potential for low 11's, maybe better, but my guess is most won't get there without slicks and a good driver.

that's also in a new Z06, quite different chassis and weight wise from a first gen Camaro. Ranger I believe is the guy you're speaking of.

It may not help you much but I recall Hot Rod did the crate engine shootout with a chevelle, I know its not a camaro but I believe it would give you represenative info for what you are looking at. The month is october Here is a video of the comparison and I believe it has times also in the article

I thought this was one of the better Hot Rod issues in a long time, but I think that car and driver is pretty dialed in for drag racing. In that article it show the wheels off the ground by a number of inches with the 350 ZZ4 engine. I have owned about five chevelles two with big blocks that never hooked like that. Granted I was a knob but I still think the yellow car with a (LS7 Test) with a 10.78 in 3420lb vehicle weight is smokin
