Default Quickest ET with stock converter?
I was just curious as to what the quickest ET anyone on here has run while still having the stock torque converter? (although when I do get another LS1, the very first mod for it will be a new TC)

Brad (2K2 LS1) ran a 10.8 on the bottle with his '01 Z28 with the stock converter. Off the bottle, he was running 12.2's if I remember correctly.

Those 60's amaze me with the mods you guys list and stock verters. I've gone a pathetic 1.9 and that's all she's got <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
