track times from totally (or fairly) stock Fox swaps?
I came across a donor Z28 with a 4L60E and Im thinking of just getting it running so Ill have something to fart around in. Anyone put a totally stock LS1/4L60E into a fox and run it at the track? Ive got a nice H/C/I setup but I kinda wanna see what itll do bone *** stock first.

I would guess mid-low 13s, depending on traction and gearing. My Z (around 3200 lbs) did 13.7 @ 104 on a stock 5.3/TKO600 with worn out subframe bushings and bald tires. That was also my first time on a drag strip.

The average 300 rwhp Fox will trap 110-112 mph. Your ET will depend on how well it's set up and how well you can drive it.
That trap speed, driven and set up adequately, should be mid 12's. Driven well and set up well 112 mph could be a 12 flat.

That's what I was kinda thinking but I didn't know how much the weight would affect it. My last coupe was 2960 with an iron headed motor. I did get a PM from a member who said he went 12.0 with a fresh off the pallet, stock LS1/4L60 combo, 11.50 with a stall, and 11.90 with a 224 cam, 373s, and a set of DRs.

My E7 headed stock 5.0 long block, T5, completely stock suspension with 10 hole wheels,1990 LX hatch was 3040 lbs with me in it after some weight reduction, and I was about 200 lbs. The weight reduction was the typical sound deadener, removal, off road exhaust, etc. At 240-ish rwhp it went 13.0's @ 103-104 mph nearly every pass on Nitto drag radials. On a 175 shot it went 120-122 mph through the traps depending on traction.
Rule of thumb for a typical street car setup and race weight is that adding 10 hp is the equivalent of reducing 100 lbs and is good for adding 1 mph on the trap speed.

I'll post tomorrow with track times. I've got a 1989 coupe with 2000 model LS1 all stock except for the truck intake. Its bolted to a turbo 350 with Coan 4000 stall converter, 3.55 gears and 26 inch tall tires. Car is full weight daily driver that weighs 3160 with me in it.

I always wondered this same thing. My 3600 pound ws6 went 12.40s @114 on regular radials with just a lid and Mac headers and have always thought that a LX coupe would run well into the 11s with a stock LS motor (6 speed) and some good tires. I would think a 3000 pound coupe with tires,CAI, headers and gears would run 11.30s/40s @120.
