Default my first LS1

My name is John. I've been on this page before but since I bought my first LS1 about 4 weeks ago I decided I should become a member. I have been a member of z28.com for a while. I am not new to the f-body sceen. My first Camaro was a 96 V6 that I traded for a 96 Trans Am. I only did a couple bolt-ons to my 96 TA. I took a break from the f-body and then ended up getting a great deal on a 94 Z28 that I got down to 13.12 @ 107mph w/ a 100 shot of nitrous. My new ride is a 02 Z28 that has not been modified. Now that I own this I wish I had bought a LS1 a long time ago. I plan to begin modding soon to get it down in the 12s.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and look forward to getting to know some members on the site.

I'm a member of z28 too..anway a lt1 with a 100shot and mods should be in the 12's easy.

Most people get the full exhaust and mild cam and easy 12's. Good luck and welcome

Thanks everyone. Coolformula...I figured I could get in the 12s but I was running on fairly hard street tires and ended up selling it before I had a chance to run w/ traction. Won't happen to this ride though. It'll definitely be running 12s and maybe faster depending on what I want to spend.
