"These go to 11"..... ......those were the immortal words of Nigel the guitar player in the movie 'This Is Spinal Tap'.
But he was talking about a amplifiers, I'm talking about my LS1.
After many years of proud/happy LS1 F-body ownership I am so pleased to report that I have reached and crossed that elusive drag racing milestone into, the ELEVENS.
(Though just barely LOL.)
11.99@113.16 to be exact, Friday night at Atco. I love this car.
With help from my QTP (www.quicktimeperformance.com, thanks Barry) long tube headers and Y pipe, a rebuilt trans by Tommy at Anger Management Racing and it's clean install along with a new Vigilante 3600 stall torque converter and tune (thanks Julio
) by the awesome crew over at Cartek (www.cartek.net) in Garwood, NJ I was able to pilot my bone stock internal, stock reared and completely naturally aspirated LS1 powered Z28 to a sweet new best. 
60'.....1.62
1/8.....7.62
MPH.....89.96
1/4.....11.99
MPH.....113.16
Did I mention that I love this car?

11.99. That's great. Congrats!
So now that you're the KING of doing the most with the least, will you be surfing the
"For Sale" forum in search of some high power mods?
TURBO? NITROUS? SUPERCHARGER? STROKER?
What dark and evil road will you be going down?
Come Marc, come to The Dark Side.

Thanks all.
Yes 
Nah, I think others have still gone as far or even further with a little less work done but back when I was stuck at 12.2s I feel I had accomplished some pretty cool stuff with how little was done to the car.
General Motors
really gave us all such a fine canvas with which to work from. 
NEVER! 
Nah, I really like the stock internal thing, gears (what I think is really holding me back bigtime) are always a possibility and a Cartek cam is certainly tempting but this 'less is more' thing is just so much fun right now.
