Good point in theory but if he has cam and a converter and only running 12.8's then there's something wrong there

No way is this car as stock as you think it is. Without a doubt this car has switched hands and some mod info was withheld.

When my TBSS was BoneStock just a replacement K&N it went 13.49 @102+, NOBODY in the country was running within .3-.4 of me...then I learned about "DA"...it really ran a 13.67, that's more like it.. I am sure it's probably got gutted Cats and a Tune, if it were 40* outside it could be a fast Stock car, but 80*??? that's a stretch IMO..

Considering I ran 13.0s@107 on radials with only a lid,cutout and some free mods, 12.8 is very possible with his few mods. Some LS1s run better than others. I'd like to see dyno numbers on his car. My 02 A4 car put down 324/343 with mods in my sig. My last car (02 M6 Z28) only put down 294/316. The only difference in mods was a tune on my A4 (went from 316/333 to 324/343). As an apples to apples comparision, the same dyno was used, the weather was in the 60's both times and the mileage was around 25,000. Go figure.
