Default Bolt On LT1 In The 12s!

Well my track rental at Atco yesterday really paid off. Car went a best of 12.93 @ 106.4 on a 1.9 60ft. Not too shabby for just a few bolt ons and a 141k mile motor. The car had more in it but I wanted to drive it home, so I took it easy on the ol 10 bolt. Im sure the 141k rockers/springs are holding me back, so those will get changed soon. I didnt get a slip of the 12.93 because it was the last run and they didnt print my ticket. I do have a go pro vid of it that Im waiting for my friend to upload. I do have a 12.94 slip and a 12.98 video of a grudge race between me and an ls2 01z. Let me know what you think guys think...

DA was around -400 during that pass. Was a very humid day. Wish it was around -1000 like it should have been...

That's what I heard then. I couldn't tell if you were holding it at 1/2 throttle after dumping it or what. Awesome vids.
