The LS1 engine is stock beside the mods that you see in the photos

list of mods

TSP Torquer V2 113LSA Camshaft 600/600 intake & exhaust
TSP Dual Valve Springs “660”
TSP Chromoly Pushrods 7.40
Comp Cams Retro Trunnions
Blue Demon level 2 36lb injectors

3,000 Yank Stall Converter
Speed Engineering 3/4 Longtube Headers & Y pipe
will be replacing Y pipe for X pipe dumpers soon
BMR front & rear control arms as well as Panhard Bar

The fastest I ever went when it was stock was 8.06 at 67MPH
in the 1/8th mile
so the next time I go to the track it’s definitely going to go deep in the 7s!
