Not with a stock suspention and street tires. All thats done to this car is LTs,a Lid and give it a break a 2400 stall. New Camaros and Dodges are running 13.50s.

Not all tracks are equal too. Not everyone gets to run in that special east coast -1000 density altitude air. Some of us run @ 2000' + elevation where tracks don't run all winter. Stock LS1's run low to mid 14's where I run.

Agreed. I like to take DA into account all the time. I ran my car setup identically with nothing at all changed including the fuel in the tank and the tire pressures at the same track, DA 300 and DA 2700, i dropped from 12.71 to 12.51 with the same 60'.

This is all boltons. So if you're at a 0-500DA, cam only on DR's you should be high 11's.

But i think i just beat a dead horse, so ignore me.

Hey it's all good, I know its slow on street tires. I ordered up a MWC 9" and will be running some sticky tires this year. 2.2 60' and not being able to get on it until after 2nd gear will not give you good time! I'll be going 11's this year no problem! They say .1 in the 60' will give you .2 reduction in the 1/4 mile. So I figure if I cut a 1.6 60', that right there will be worth over 1 second of time!
