Okay you could probably make it there with a 1.8 60' and really fast shifting but I think that the hood will get you there...
Just kidding, if you got sticky tires you can probably make it.

umm screw than manual shifting hes got a hypertech , it wont shift right if you try to shift it manually , unless you bring it back down to stock computer controls youre just gonna keep hitting your head on that rev limiter , or if youve taken the rev limiter off , youll hit red, point being if youve messed with the shift points any , dont manually shift

You better have the rest of the suspension done with those springs or else it'll be spin city.

I don't think you'll make the 12's.

Hypertech also adjusts the air fuel ratio and spark and dosent have anything to do with shift points on the M6 mostly just rev limiter. And no i havent ever ran it at a track, the closest 1/4 mile is a couple hours away and might head up there this summer somtime. Im pretty confident in my shifting and lauch so who knows. Hopefully i can do it, ive seen some 12's on stock LS1's and alot of it is the driving.
