Freak t/a? My girl seems to have run a hell of a lot better at the track than I thought she would, and even better than most LS1's on here with similar or more mods.
r/t .288
60' 1.988
330 5.616
1/8 8.551 @ 84.62
1000 11.084
1/4 13.24 @ 104.65
Its a 99 T/A automatic, GU5 rear. The only mods to the car is a magnaflow catback w/cutout, factory y, factory manifolds, an Ebay lid, a/c delete, an LS6 hotcam untuned. She runs Firehawk wide ovals, which as far as I know are street tires. Everything else is stock.
Does this sound on par with what she should be running? Her 60 ft. really impressed me, she just needs to work on the r/t.

Shes dying for long tubes, ory, tune, and a stall (in that order). I would have never thrown a cam in a car with stock headers but the cam was free and I had a day off work.
I was confused because in rather GMHTP or HPP magazine they had the STS turbo formula on MICKEY THOMPSONS and didnt even break a 2 second 60 ft.

Not a freak. With my '00 Camaro back in '02, I went 13.0 with a lid, catback, and the free ram air mod. Full weight with the GU2 (2.73 gear option). That is still good time for her. Wait until he cool air hits and she gets the LTs, tune, and stall. Don't forget the sticky tires

I guess you wouldn't believe what the car in my signature runs with a 100% bone stock longblock. I'll give you a hint, it is not legal to run at any NHRA tracks any more due to no roll bar

I guess maybe the cam without the tune is hurting the car 
The 60 foot is there but the mph isn't. I believe what the LS1 is capable of. My friend, well not really my friend, but this guy I know.. Well actually I dont like the guy at all. So this guy I hate ran a 12.5 with a 3800 stall, full suspension and a 3.73 (I believe) without even a lid or catback. Pulled the front left tire off the ground somethin fierce (he said he didnt stall it up all the way but w/e ). Well, thanks for the input guys now I know where we need to be at with this bird. Headers and tune lol. 
Honestly, its what I believe a LS6 hotcam (from what I was told). That would be 219/228 .525 .525 112. Should I put the stock cam back in and do the headers, stall, and suspension, sell this cam and then buy something bigger like a TR224 cam or something along those lines?
