Thank you for the encouragement. Not to down play both of your results, I am sure that is VERY fast for your respective set ups but we are shooting for the "Stock Internal" record.
That is, the motor has never been opened up. Stock springs, pushrods, Stock cam, stock heads and of course Naturally Aspirated. My car Hasn't even had the intake manifold off at this point, although I do have a 102mm sitting around waiting for it
I'd run the 102 intake/TB and have it ported by someone who is experienced.
Just for the record: My setup that ran low 10's was a "SI" bolt-on LS6 setup.
Another small update. We brought the car to the local 1/8th mile to get some practice runs in. The car ran a new best. 7.19 @ 94.5mph w/ 1.52 60ft. The car has more weight to be taken out, the intake to be added and small things here and there, but its creeping closer. Pretty sure that was a low 11 if only we were timing past the 1/8th
Dam that's fast, definitely right next to what I have ran. Good job man
Thats flyin! What was your race weight/setup? In a vette?
My car is a vette setup for the drag strip, and back then it was under 3000# for the best passes as a bolt-on setup, not unlike the fastest f-body SI passes.
I had most bolt-on minus a few including:
ARH
FAST 90
4.10's
stock suspension
The only thing that held me back was the 60' which I now have worked out.

No hood that's cheating lol. Dam thing weighs 50 lbs. badass man, 1.45 60ft is awesome did not think you would do that. Sounds like your shifting pretty low like I do. Are those 16 inch wheels? I have to say I'm very impressed and like you said you have more in it. You definitely might go faster than I ever will stock internal. Your number 1 now!!!

The fiberglass hood was ruined when I ran through the speed limit sign so its ghetto no hood of now lol.
We were shifting higher then that most of the night, but I missed 3rd gear 2 out of 3 runs so this run I was just trying to get a clean pass. You can tell Im shifting early and not power shifting. We were also clipping the limiter on the long end. I didn't hear it in this vid, but it was a couple hundred feet before the line visually at least.

Oh ok that sucks about the hood, makes me wonder if it's faster with or without a hood lol. It's aggrivating as hell to miss gears, is the trans getting a lot of wear? When the gto trans started to get worn it got to where I couldn't no lift shift anymore. I got my limiter set at 6500 I think, even at that I might start hitting it at 121 or so.

No, the trans is holding in there like a champ and working well. I'm just rusty as hell. Motor and trans is doin well for 100k miles
