Default goin to track.. will i hit 12s?

So the mods are in the sig. The original owner of the car gave me his best timeslip with the car... 13.293. It had all the mods in the sig except he SAID that it didnt have the headers when he made that run... I dont know if i believe him or not but ill give him the benefit of the doubt i suppose... Other then that I did the TB bypass, transgo, and subframe connectors so those werent included in his 13.2 run either. Soon i will have LCAs, relocation brackets, and an adjustable panhard rod to fix my rear wheels.. do you think ill have a shot at breaking into the 12s? or do i still need to do more?

all depends on your launch with street tires. lower the pressure in them and heat em up real good. but i doubt you'll hit 12's. i say 13.1

I think if you get a good launch you can be in the 12's. Especially since the previous owner did 13.2 without headers.

throw some drag radials on. dont have to come out hard on them, but you`ll definitely have better traction. id say a 12.8,12.9 if you pick a nice cool night

Its possible to get 13.0 with a bone stock LS1 F body if its a 2001 or 2002 model.

You need to be a pro driver and maybe with tires, but thats all.

Update-I added those suspension parts listed above, I have a cutout now and I just put in a 2800 stall. I havent gotten to the track though. I think I'll be in the 12s now but I still need to hook

Would have dropped a 3400 stall to accomodate current and future mods!
The cutout will help. Hope you make it on the next time around ON A COOL NIGHT!

If you don't make 12s at the track, i'd suggest like a bigger stall, and a cam swap.
