Default Stock Ws6: Best possible time?

I have a '98 Trans Am ws6 that is bone stock.....I took it to the drag strip the other night and came out with 13.5 as my best time. I've only been driving a stick for a month so I was pretty happy with my time. I was wondering what what my best time could be assuming the conditions are right and I drive it perfectly, all while keeping it stock. Anyone know?

That is a pretty good time. What was your trap speed? It is going to depend on track conditions, DA, your ability to drive and the condition of the car. !13.0Xs, 12.9Xs have been done in bone stock LS1 F-bodies.

Apparently they prep their track really well. I see you too are from GA....I ran a 14.2 in Commerce then a 13.5 at Silver Dollar in Reynolds, Ga. I had a friend go with me in his '02 Z28 to Silver Dollar and he ran a 13.3. He's basically stock....he's added ram air and ls6 intake. I forget what my trap speed was, don't have the slip on me. If I remember right it was 13.5 @ 110mph. I'll have to double check that later.

Wow! I did not pay attention earlier to see that you are from Georgia. Its amazing how much faster everyone runs at Silverdollar compared to Commerce. I have never run at Silverdollar yet, but I hope to in December.

You say your friend added an LS6 intake. I thought all 01-02 LS1s came with LS6 intakes.
