Ok. When i get a chance i'll post a picture of the slip. Believe me or not. The slip doesn't lie. Next run after that it went 13.20 @ 105 with a slightly worse 60'.

Those times are almost unbelievable with those mods.
If they are true, those are some amazing times.

When I sold my 94 Formula, I had been 13.5 @ 103 with CAI,Tune, Drag radials and a Mac Cat-Back. I blew the rear and replaced it with another auburn and a 3.73, sold the car and the next owner took the car to Englishtown and went 13.1 @ 106.

Hate all you want. Car 14 was a GTI. Doesn't matter to me what some kid on the internet thinks. I know what my car can do. The only mods i don't have listed are new plugs and wires, but that isn't going to do anything. I'm running NGK TR6's gapped at .050 with taylor 8.2mm plug wires. You'll probably doubt me even more when i tell you the exhaust isn't even long tubes. I'm running mid tubes with no cat. I bought the full exhaust from a guy for basically nothing. He just told me it was on a 383 that was running 12.0's at 118. So i figure that is plenty for a stock bore, bolt on LT1.

Mid tubes are often times better for a mild setup, so I believe that.

**** all the haters. It's a mild bolt on car going low 13's. In good air I believe that.

Stock LS1's can get close to that with a good 60, so why in the hell couldn't a mildly modded LT1.

Answer is, it can and did.

Most people out there have ragged out 150,000 mile LT1's that have never been properly maintained and they wonder why they run like ****.

What you aren't telling everyone is that you ran those times on the fastest track in the country.

I guess the doubters haven't been around long enough to know that mild bolt-on cars have gone mid to high 12s on a regular basis. Back in the day (10+ years ago) there were twice as many bolt-on only cars as there are now that learned to ET well. Not so much anymore. Then one comes along and runs the times posted and everyone is so quick to call BS. My turd went 12.9x back in 2002 with just headers, gears, RA hood, DRs, on the stock stall, cam, and converter.

Nice times Hellbentz.

I agree, a well thought out bolt on car should be in the 12's IMO, in GOOD air

Winner. Running at Atco definitely helps.

Thanks man.
