Those numbers are fine. Thats pretty much even across all cylinders which is what you are looking for.

101 is still too low of a trap speed IMO, should be ATLEAST 103

I've seen a few LS1 cars run low 14s and i can't figure out how. I've also seen stock LS1s run 12.9s too. Sometimes I wonder if some are factory freaks and others are duds lol.

There is no question about it, some run better than others. The 12.9 thing happens more than you might think. But get this for your poor runners, my buddy picked up an LS1 a few years ago, went straight to the dyno, put down a solid 210 rwhp, and yet everything checked out on it.

Car was history a week later.

driver...

when i first got my car. I brought it to the track and ran all mid to high 14s at 103-104

before I got rid of it, I ran 1 13.5 at 107-108. It was all with my driving. I got faster at shifting and cut my 60fts a little bit. only mods where a lid and catback with the second runs.

jsut cause a car is capable of a certain time, doesn't mean its easy to drive it to that time.

Gears are not a factor in your dyno numbers. Auto or manual is though, just because of driveline loss. F-bodies seem to be under rated and Vettes seem to be over rated. Case in point, look at the times and mods in my sig, my car has 195k on it, and it ran those times with Eagle F1 tires and a 3:42 gear. So do the freaks exist? you be the judge....
