He never deviated from that at all and only blew up after a bunch of little kids started flaming.
If he's in here claiming he's seen something that no one else has, show it. Until then, his claim is BS.

BTW, do you have any friends?....I mean...other than your rich wife? I'm willing to bet if you hadn't married a wealthy woman, you would still be driving a lowly Chevy just like the rest of us....bitch.

Hey man magazine numbers are what they are..
IF...
-Car and driver runs a 12.4 at 116
-Road and Track runs a 12.5 at 115
-Motor trend runs a 12.4 at 116.5
-Popular science runs a 12.3 at 115
-Automobile runs a 12.6 at 114
Take a wild guess at what you and 90% of the rest of the actual owners of the car will run dead stock
12.3-12.6 at 113-117
The other 8% at crappy tracks will run 12.7-12.9 at 112-114
And the remaining 2% of the bad *** driving good DA having guys will run 12.0-12.2 at 116-118...
Do I love mag times..Hell no. But they sure will give you a realistic example of what a stock car can generally do..Most of us cant even match the mag times..
How many guys really ran a 12.4 at 117 in A C5Z06
Or a 11.7 at 123 in an SRT10
Or a 11.5 at 127 In a C6Z06
Magazine times are what they are man

You would not believe how much timing gets pulled for intake air temperature, engine coolant temperature and aggressive driving. On a hot summer day, they are often down 40-50 rwhp from the pcm pulling so much timing. With a tune, you can avoid the pcm pulling all the timing then gain some power with a leaner power enrichment setting and timing increased in key areas. If the Ls3 is untuned, they're easy to beat in the summer time, but if the guy's had his car tuned properly, watch out!
