Do you have any factual proof to back this up? My buddy's BONE STOCK LS1 Camaro with 4.10s as the only mod went 8.22@85.5 in they eighth and had more in it. If he made a few more passes I could have definitely seen him pull off an 8.1 ET. Regardless, the gears definitely made a difference (almost 1/2 second in the 1/8th), all the other stock LS1/T-56 cars around here run 8.4-8.7 in the 1/8th, trapping around 82.5 depending on the driver.
