Properly tuned and setup a T-trim can give very good results.

Depends how far you want to push it, as to what results can be achieved. Andy at A&A Corvette uses a lot of thme now, with very good results.

I think its shitty of persons to jump in here and say procharger. Its not like the vortech guys go and jump in all the procharger threads. But since were playing these games Turbo or go home.

You can run 10's with a vortech and a stock bottom end.
Call Bob at EPP and he can show you how.

I have put this on my car and ran 1040's stock bottom end. not sure what all the hate is I went to a procharger to get more out of my car.
Another member (ten sec ta) also has gone 10's on his stock bottom end heads and cam. he put a 75 shot on top of his and he went 10.45.

Unless you meant on a complete stock car not another mod.
These were stock ls1s but did have headers and suspension work done converters and bolt ons but they are stock ls1s.

If you know Tom the roofer he can back this up.
He has seen both cars run.
