Default Is this believable?

This guy posted this on another forum.

Here's what he said:

well finally hit ten's, ran two 10.9's and one 10.8 w/ a 1.5 60ft
needless to say i'm very very pleased, i can not wait to get the headers on

1/4 mile 10.8 / 128mph / 1.5 60ft

He claims he's full weight minus a spare and jack, cutting a 1.5 60' on drag radials with a lowered suspension.

O yea he doesn't have headers either.

I don't believe it, am I wrong?

I ran 11.0's a few years ago with just a few bolt-ons (I did have headers though) and a ~150hp NX wet kit.

The LS1 aftermarket has come along way, and there are much better "bolt-on" parts available now that should make bigger gains, so I can see it being entirely believable.

I believe it. We actually installed the cam in this car, and his list of mods looks right to me.

I remember Patrick G running 11.0s or 11teens a couple of years ago, with the same mods but without the cam.

Hell, I've gone 10.63 internally stock with bolt ons and a 100 shot. VERY believable!
