1/4 mile times - what are your thoughts. . . Car spec's:
1969 Nova, 2002 LS1 engine, SpearTech ECM,stock cam, LS6 intake, long tube 1 7/8 headers, T56 and a 12 bolt with 4:10's. The car has full interior and all steel. 275 BG Radials, car is lowered with multi leafs and spindles in the front.
1s pass: 12.80 at 110MPH, 2.0 sec 60 ft
No burnout, left nice and easy, didn't spin much, chirped second and the car pulled nice and hard, made it into 5th at the end, I was taching up to 6500 RPM.
2nd pass: 13.0 at 108MPH, 2.1 sec 60 ft
Did a burn-out, lowered the tire pressure, tried to leave hard, spun the tires bad. I was bangin' gears good and made good MPH but did not have a good ET.
Any thoughts? I think with a set of sticky's on the back I can get a 12.50.
. . . . add a turbo, low 11's

That's a great baseline, and is consistent with the numbers of my Corvette for its maiden voyage.
First time out my vette, never mod'd went 13.1 @ 107 with a 2.2 short
Then with bolt-ons , the car went 11.90 @115.44 with a 1.731 short.
These engines are easy to add power. The sky is the limit.

The main intent was to make a base-line for the add-on's to come.
I figured I would try and stab a cam in before the snow flys to see how much that improves.
Also, I was going to take a set of 26X9 slicks up there and see the difference between the radials and slicks.
And this winter, I am going to bolt on truck heads and single turbo to make some low 11's, high 10's if the trans can handle it. I have not heard anything good about the T56 taking more then 600 HP and I think I can make more then 600 at the wheels with a single turbo, injectors, program and cam.
