On at 100 degree day, i was running 13.5 on street tires and using my old TPI intake. Im sure once i put on my cold air intake i will be low 13's maybe even high 12's. just need a good tune and a nice cool day.

Expect times to be very similar.
Their a very similar chassis (Front subframes back are exactly the same)

From what i saw at the track, A bone stock 01 Z28 with T-56 was running 14 all night... Putting a LS1 into a 3rd gen is well worth it. You get faster times for the buck with our cars. Does this make sence

Kinda haha.

Thirdgens are, depending on options, generally lighter.

My iroc, with a 4th gen dash/seats, LB9, t-tops etc sits around 3000 - 3100 lbs.

Im hoping with the LM7 (5.3L), Cam, Headers, LS1 intake ill be able to get high 12's

What your doing your going to get the 12's easy! With a good tune. who knows, maybe mid 12's.... I noticed when i took out my old motor and put in the LS1, the front of my car was really high. Looked funny. The LS1 is about 100 pounds lighter.
