Default Been lurkin for a while

I've been a member for a few months but just got a ls1 (finally), it's a 99 formula ta black on black not many mods, 373 gears, decked heads on a new long block, stage 2 shift kit in a new tranny, and a k&n filter, that's it for now but More to come with 17 in front and 18 in rear chrome vette wheels, any idea what something like this will run I'm guessing mid to low 13s

Is it a Formula or a T/A? Im pretty sure it cant be both (right?). Good choice either way. Post some more info and some pics! And yea, you should be able to pull low 13s

Depends a lot on the DA and the track conditions. Depending on where you're at, I wouldn't think high 12's would be out of the question. Does the motor have a cam and do you have any more info. on the heads?

It has had the heads decked to bump the compression, and has 373 gears, k@n filter, stage 2 shift kit (b@m), I think that's pretty much it

check the rpo codes on your door jamb... looks like a vin sticker with a bunch of 3 letter/number combinations... enter them here and it will tell you pretty much anything you need to know about how your car came from the factory... http://cadillacfaq.com/rpo/index.php
