Default What to expect, Opinions needed!!!!

Sorry to sound like a newb, But I am still unfamiliar with LT1 motors. Id like to know what to expect when I run at the track this spring. Ive never driven a fast car and maybe Ill have the chance to soon. It is an M6. I have LT headers, true duals, Underdrive pulley, 160* thermo, Home ported and polished heads/intake/ throttle body. CIA, 230/236 .510 .520 Cam, LT4 springs, 1.6 RR, 3100 RACEWEIGHT, 100 shot cold fusion, STREET TIRES. What should I expect to run? And what to expect to run when I get drag radials? OPINIONS WANTED, Please give me an idea! Thanks alot, Dave

honestly it's a neat idea but I've only seen it done successfully once, that was with a thirdgen. Major props if you pull it off clean. Not my style, but props nonetheless.

On the subject of your car, get that tuned before you whomp on it or you will cause damage. You have bigger injectors than stock right?

Anyone here know LT1's setups? I looked in the archive, but so many of them vary!! Are LT1s real unpredictable or what? Plus I didnt see anyone with my wieght, or home ported jobs, or my cam... anyone!?

After you get bigger injectors and a tune I can see you hitting low 12s with ease on a tire. After you get your driving down high 11s is extremely possible. But you NEED bigger injectors and a tune. Ion from MADZ28 is a good guy to work with, however it's no substitute for a real dynotune.
