To the op, I'll tell you what..
Scan that time slip and post it.
I will take you on your word that your only mods are a lid and no muffler.
If you can do that I will gladly apologise to you and anyone else I may have offended.
I will even start a new thread on it.

grats man I said the same thing about 12's but with the mods I am planning I think it'll be more like a solid mid to low 12 where I stop modding. I don't want a cage in my daily driver. So I swear nothing better than 11.5 
More power leads to wanting more and more. Quit it before it begins!!
The best I can squeak out so far is a 13.19 Just a lid and I still have an ls1 intake and crappy street tires. I can barely break 2.2 60 ft in part to bad track prep. I figure the intake is worth a tenth or two and a mph or two. I figure an intake and drag radials since auto's and dr's seem to go together like firearms and ammo. Then I should be a bit into the first big magic second barrier for our cars.

Nice run. A lid and no muffler will net about 20hp on a Z. Thats about 370hp at the crank, with a nice well-worn motor. Figure in the DA and vehicle weight is key and it's not too hard to believe the numbers. I've been seeing some full bolt-on cars on this site trapping 114-115.
To see the other extreme for great runs like this, John, look at me. I ran a 13.9 at 103 in terrible DA (I'm guessing here, mid 90's temp) and no traction with about 330rwhp. Then on the street a few weeks later I run dead even from a stop with a Z with similar mods to me who I've personally seen run a 12.86 at 109 at a different track. Shows how important weather and traction is to all cars at any particular track. I need to find a track in So Cal to run times like some of you guys.
