Is this good for a 12 sec pass?

FWIW - I think you would be just shy of a 12 sec timeslip. Before my cam/intake swap I was running like 8.5 and a 13.0 in the 1/4 @ 111 (street tires with a 2.1 60'). I know that the LT1 doesn't pull quite as hard up top stock as the LS1 does stock
( had a 95 TA M6) but I think with that particular pass you would have ran 13.1-13.2. Personally I think you will have to run some bottom 8.3s to hit a high 12. With that being said a 8.5 is not too shabby for your mods at all, keep working the launch and shift them gears like you stole it and I do believe a 12 is right around the corner for you. GL

Yes you did. Matter of fact you covered the 1/8mile-1000' in 2.34 seconds. Thats 340'. On my timeslip there it took me 2.58 to cover that same 340'. Thats a difference of .24 quicker than me in that 340'. There is 320' left, and I covered that last 320' in 2.18.
PURELY SPECULATION: Lets say you stopped pulling away from me at the 1000' mark and covered the last 320' in my same 2.18 pace. That added to your 1000'-10.86 equals a 13.04. I think you would have continued to pull away, and catch your 12.xx pass.

Ya! Like how you broke that down! My 4th gears feels great too! Pulls nice & strong!(not boasting) but I agree with you, in order for me to run that 13.04 I would actually have to slow down..

No, you're not there yet but you're close. One official full pull might get you there. I've never driven your car but I don't see it, since it covered the Front Half of the 1/4 in 8.52seconds, - covering the Back Half in 3.50 seconds for a 12flat.
Again I've never driven your car and it's true a better 60' will normally yield a better 1/8 and 1/4 mile unless something else happens. My guess is in approximately 4.50 to 4.80 seconds you'll complete the 1/4 mile. But since I posted it surely many will argue this statement. No problem! - Happy New Year!!
I'll even guess you'll gain 22 mph in trap speed, unless you're at the top end of a gear -reving making noise but not going anywhere.

I think that it's close but might not quite hit it if everything stays the same. You did pick up some time but I don't know if it is enough since to hit a high 12 you need about a 8.3 - 8.35 in the 1/8th or so but your 1000ft is interesting. If you can get that 60ft down another tenth I think you'll nail it. Go grab some DR's and be done with it 
I just found a couple old slips that you can use for reference coming from various cars that i've had running that time or close:
My old Z on continental street tires
60ft - 1.957
1/8th - 8.393 @ 85.70
1000' - 10.885
1/4 - 12.999 @ 106.89
60ft - 1.944
1/8th - 8.355 @ 86.20
1000' - 10.832
1/4 - 12.927 @ 107.67
My s*r-t4 on slicks slip was:
60ft - 1.857
1/8th - 8.336 @ 84.89
1000' - 10.829
1/4 - 12.979 @ 105.13
Old 55 Chevy PU
60ft - 1.764
1/8th - 8.149 @ 82.70
1000' - 10.726
1/4 - 12.927 @ 102.04

I just don't see how it picked up so much at the 1000' mark. Your 1/8 mph isn't even that good for the mods that you have.

I will say this and I hope it helps! You 1/8 mile ET and MPH will not produce a 12 second timeslip without traction! You need to get the 1/8 mile ET down to at least 8.30's which you maybe able to do with at least ET Streets or Nitto Drag Radials. An LT engine is a Torque engine and I do not see it building a lot of ET in the last 1/8 mile with you mods.
As far as outrunning stock LS1's they must be auto's. My 02 WS6 6 spd. ran a 1.86 60 foot at 8.25 ET @ 86 MPH + in 1/8 mile and 12.75 ET @ 109 + in the 1/4 with only 1,700 miles on it. the car had a lid and Nittos drag Radials. It has run several 8.40's in the 1/8 which has produced low 13 second runs. Since LS1 build more MPH in the last half of the track and cover it quicker I do not see your car out running LS1 cars with folks that can drive them.
Get the 60 foot down and shift like a pro and don't let of the go pedal until you cross the 1320 foot mark and post what it does! Good Luck!

That is excatly what I am talking about!
I ran several 8.30's in my Formula with the original 91K engine with only long tube headers and even an LS1 intake on it with stock auto transmission and convertor with ET Streets and 3.23 gears. At that time the Formula weighed 3,665 lbs.

i had 103k on it when it an that 8.4.. only mods were lid and exhaust and K&N filter... full weight less the spare and jack... nothing else touched..
dont know what my race weight was....
i dont see too many lt1s running those times... there are a few close.. but the MPH isnt there to back it up for the 1/4
