Default Fastest SBE MANual car?

We know, we know, SBE+ take your pick auto+ sloppy stage 3 started kit = 9s. Add fuel and an 88mm, and your Grandma can dive the car to the 8s. Very exciting stuff, LOL.

But who's pushed an SBE with a Manual trans? T56/T5/TKO, IDK. Who's set the bar high for those that still have a functioning left foot and don't want to fall asleep during their drag pass?

EDIT* to clarify, I think for the context of this conversation, LS9 and LS7s are as they are both effectively GM factory RACE motors. I am looking for what appeals to the masses, the slops...ect. 4.8/5.3/6.0/ls1/ls6....ect.

Has anyone gone faster?

Good thread! Don't see very many manual cars at all running 9's or faster, especially SBE.

Agreed! And unfortunately the "times" posts look like they have not been updated in 10 years , unless I am missing something?

Yes, seen a few SBE NA 9 sec C6Z's as well. A SBE ZR1 went 8's at one of our rentals so perhaps that is the record.

Now you mention it, and Ls9 is almost cheating LOL.

I think for the context of this conversation, LS9 and LS7s are as they are both effectively GM factory RACE motors. I am looking for what appeals to the masses, the slops...ect. 4.8/5.3/6.0/ls1/ls6....ect.

I have to thing SOMEONE has been in the 9s with one? If not 8s?
