Id say lower 13's with just a catback and cai LT1s with 2.77s. Run high 13's
Throw in a torque convertor, shift kit, aluminum DS, and some radials and youll see 12's easy .

Very low 13's if you can get it to hook.

LT's are great for speed. Your trap should increase by about 5 MPH.

What do you guys think with putting LT's on a car with 3.73's, Eibach Kit, Hotcam with 1.6's, Tune, and CAI.

You should easily pick up 3-5 tenths and up to 5mph with LT's/ORY...

I'm running high 12s with my hotcam, stock heads and full bolt-ons with street tires. The car is lowered with eibach springs. M6 with light weight flywheel, stage 2 clutch and 4.10s. On a good day and some traction I can get 12.5s around 115 mph. I know I could get 11s if I put some tires on the car.

A stall should give you like .4-.6 tenths.

Honestly, with a 104MPH trap speed, a 12.9 wouldn't be unlogical. You could at least run a 13.1. You just need to get that 60' down. With a stall, I think you could see 12's. With a stall and LT's, there is no reason why you shouldn't get 12's, unless you just spin like crazy. Just have good tires.

What was your time in the 1/8 on that run? Around an 8.6 or so?
