Default Conversion Track Times

Went to Great Lakes Dragway in Wisc. last night with my ls1 elcamino. I was expecting 12.60-70s. I went 12.74 @ 108 1.9 sixty foot track surface temp was 55 degrees and air temp was 45. I had drag radials on and was loose. This was the first time out. It is a 2001 ls1 with z06 cam and heads,4l60e 2800 yank, 3.42 gear and long tubes 3600lbs. I am on this site everyday and just wanted to thank everyone for all their knowledge. I just bought a 1956 chevy and a 1999 ls1 and 6 spd. that is my new project.
