That's very good numbers! Doing 104 with stock Z28 exhaust this time of year is great. Do you have a "stripper"?

looks like you got a strong runner. Should be good for some low 13's in the fall.

nice runs for bone stock. Best I got was 13.47 at 103.50 mph with a 2.06 60 foot time, and the car already had a K & N filter in it from previous owner.

As posted above, should be good for low 13's, possibly high 12's with traction in better weather and DA conditions.

Good luck!

Derek

there is a code inside the drivers door that tells you which one you have, i think if you go to the new ls1 enthusiasts section up top at the home page it will tell you what to look for, or someone else knows....3.42s if you drive the car more but if its a weekend and track car 3.73s and a stall
