Default New best time, still stock engine

Last year i ran a 12.3 @ 108 with an ls6 intake, 3800 stall, LTs and a mail order tune.

Over the winter i put 3.42's and true duals on it and put the car on a small diet.

Results:

60' 1.698
1/4 12.101
MPH 111.8

My ultimate goal is to make my way on the "fastest stock engine" list. I believe the cut-off is 11.70.

Overall i am happy with the result. I was my first time at the track with the car this year so i cant complain.

Very nice, get a little weight off the car and it will get you a little closer.

Good time, I'm guessing a gear and/or higher stall converter might be the next step(s).

yeah i think so, im waiting to blow the 10 bolt so i can get a 12 and put 3.73s in it. I think a 4400 stall would be great for me at this point but i'll see how far i can get with this setup with a little seat time.

you dont need to, spare tire/jack, skinnies on the front with the stock stall...FTRA, P&P tb, lid, cutout in stock exhaust (still had mainfold and cats)

12.54 at 111.66mph

so with that nice ss3800 you are going to be golden i would shoot for 11s SI full weight...i got faith in you
