Default Normal or freak car?

I have an 02 Formula with longtube headers, lid, full 3 inch exhaust with cutouts, stock 3.23's, 3200 PTC stall, and built trans with cooler, tune, and Nitto NT05 275's (non drag radial) out back. Engine is completely internally stock and so are all the suspension parts. I have only ran at 1/8th mile tracks but I can consistently run 8.1-8.3 depending on the track. I have ran multiple 7.9XXpasses with 1.7XX 60' times. Best is 7.903 @ 87.82 with 1.755 60'. I can post a picture of the time slip for authenticity. Does this sound like an average LS1 or does it seem a little stronger than most? I'm just curious because I have serval friends with LS1's and I can walk all of them and everyone thinks I'm lying when I run and tell them my mods lol. Just curious on here. Let me know what y'all think.

Very normal. Bone stock with drag radials and stall should run 7'9's. I ran 8.4's with stock 01, even factory muffler, paper air filter and tires. My mph was 86-87.

Normal. My setup is close to yours except I have a 4k stall with stock 273s, and et streets and I've run 7.80s with a 1.7 60 ft.

What I've learned is its all in the 60 ft. Most cars on this site are capable of running great numbers, but the first 60 feet determines the et for most runs.

Thanks guys for the replies. I was just curious. I've had a hard time with 60' because most tracks around here don't prep well and I can't hook the best but I'm hoping for mid-low 7's after I put a cam in it with some suspension mods. Thanks again
