Default Drag Question

Just curious, what does an I/H/E LS1 run on average at the dragstrip, and then what does one with those mods plus cams run on average? If the model makes a significant impact on times (obviously a vette would) let's go with an LS1 Camaro.

I/H/E ls1 around 12.5-12.8. and the cam question depends on the specs of the cam but in the 11s somewhere

not cams... CAM. LS1 only has 1 cam.

and your IHE (lol) all depends on what IHE you have.
what intake
what heads
and I guess E = Exhaust...

What car ( ta, vette, or camaro) what transmission, what tires, the locating and racing conditions.

When I fist started posting here when I joined I asked the same questions for a 99 SS A4 with lid, lt headers, ory, and catback with drag radials would run. The most common asnwer I got was 13 flat... My car ran a 13.47, so nobody on here can tell you a very good estimate unless it's just a lucky guess. There are SO many variables it's too hard to give a good guess. I would say somewhere between 14 and 13 seconds ET lol possibly less depending on certain variables... good luck!

By I/H/E, do you mean intake/heads/exhaust? Because people don't typically do heads on an LS1 before a cam. If they did, I suppose you could see anywhere from a 13.0 to a 12.0, but typically you'll see a cam-only car (no heads) running anywhere from mid-low 12s to mid-low 11s depending on the size of the cam, M6 vs A4, and a lot of other factors.

What kind of car do you drive and why do you ask?

^^He means intake/headers/exhaust ..aka bolt-ons lol

If it helps, I ran a 12.95@107.6 with just headers, Off-road Y pipe, and catback. I screwed it up so I know I could've done better.

I should run 11's with the setup in my sig.

People have achieved 10's with cam only (and supporting bolt-ons). So, you never know.

I know a guy that went 12.9 with intake/Lt's and a GMMG catback in an 01 T/A with an M6 on street tires with a broken posi.

Guessing what time your gonna run depends more on the driver than anything.
