You would think it can. Although the mph seems low IMO. Good numbers so far!

Not at that track, considering your time and trap speed. Why so low on the mph?

That 12.48 @ 106.84 was stall and gears. I haven't ran it with the cam and all the other things done to it yet. And I was told that mph was good for a a4 vert.

Sorry to break it to you but 106 mph is pretty weak for a cammed LS1. Bone stock I've seen 103-105 mph out of these cars

Lol yw i was kinda iffy about posting that, didn't know how you would have taken it. Idk if he changed it or not but he might have.

O.P. don't get caught up in what everyone is saying, just go out there and do your best try and shoot for the 11s but realize just because a cam ls1 should/might go 11s doesn't mean it will. Other factors come into play like your location, DA, track prep, your set up (besides the engine work), your driving abilities, etc...

Take what i said how ever you want. I'm probably the last one that needs to give advice, look at my sig, however i know there is something wrong with my engine. Either way best of luck and post a slip n video after you run it.

vert or not cammed , stalled , and killer bolt ons it better go 11's , plenty of stock internals car go 11's without that big a stall and without fast intake , cam ought to make up for the couple hundred extra pounds...

stop buying mods and figure out getting what you have to do what it should do and you will be a happy guy.

You should've stated in your OP that the 12.4@106 was with stall/gears only. I was a bit baffled for a minute. Lol

11's won't be a problem with those mods.

If you know your rwhp, a calculation can get you a decent e.t. estimate.

Torque seems low..but with my numbers in sig I've been 12.04 @ 115 (3800 pounds raceweight). An auto should have no problem cutting at least 1.6s so you should be around 11.8 at worst I'd say with a good run.
