You really think that fast? I was thinking high 13s but ill take good numbers however I can!

Later down the road I plan on doing an ls6 intake for the looks and a small cam as I hear all ls engines love cam swaps for an easy hp gain.

LS-6 Intake & LS-6 Cam & Springs would make a great combo and probally 50 more HP and u can get a great deal on them on here !!!!!!!!

Full interior 5.3/4l70, 3.50 gear, 02-04 z06 cam+150shot nitrous=11.95. didn't run w/o nitrous that night trip before speed limiter was still on and it was hitting 99 by 1000'. no trap speed because it was street race night and track had speed turned off to make it harder to tell if people were sand bagging
