Default Stock LS1

what kind of numbers can a stock LS1 handle. fuel system upgrades only because theyre pretty much required. dont wanna blow it up just want it to put down some decent numbers at the track and still remain reliable

Whoa formula, what is a decent number to you at the track? Some people believe that number is a 10 flat... How reliable, in nice weather or reliable to still drive in the rain, or snow reliable. Are you looking for peak dyno numbers, for bragging rights or do you want to use that power at the track? I'm not trying to sound like a dick, because I had the same questions when I started reading this board. It took me 3 years to figure out what I wanted, and I still made mistakes, as in, leave room to grow because boost is addictive! (It's true LOL) I’m a little worried for you because upgrading the fuel, "because they are required" is not the best way to get what you want. Stuff will break, period. Clutches, rear ends, new brakes rotors, etc.... I have F'up despite all the research. Please ask away and I will help you as much as I can..

sorry was in Mississippi visiting the fiance with no computer (military). decent numbers like low 11s high 10s. reliable like what can i run safely on stock internals. drivability... rain maybe but i doubt it. itll be at the track but its also gonna be a weekend/nice day cruising car. im hoping low 11s/high 10s can still be drivable but ive never had a car that fast just a bike. i know about clutches, rears, and all that breaking so im not worried about that. once im running slicks itll get a 12bolt anyhow.
