Bringing in either extreme in a comparison of mods/ET doesn't help anyone.
Sure it does. There is no such thing as a "factory freak" IMO. It's all about the setup and where a car is run as well as driver skill. It's good to distribute "extreme in comparison" ET's. It informs those not to accept the norm and that it is entirely possible to run better than what is usually posted.
Just talked to Jordon. He states his best was a 12.7 @ 109 in good air (my mistake) and Shawn's was a 12.9 @ 107.
Oh, and:
To me that reads like you are trying to be the flagship of what something should run with certain mods. Especially with you protesting once other ET's have been posted that may seem unreasonable to you.

Buddies 93 ran 12.60@107 with
Headers
Catback
Roller Rockers
Airfoil
CAI
Small converter, like a 2800
"CHIP" (prom)
Can't remember what tires, 26x10 slicks or ET streets I think.
Was pretty hot out, 85+ degrees.

Or, more likely, you agree but you just like arguing semantics and writing things just to see your own posts?
...it's still a good idea of what an LT1 needs to reliably run 12s on motor.

Didn't see the time slip...or have time to check under the hood. Just seemed odd to me with what they claimed...I just let them talk...seemed like they were trying to make his car sound superior to mine
I should have been at the track last Friday night when the freakish land huricane rolled through with the 80MPH winds. If they were going the optimum direction to push my car down the track, I would have netted some nice gains. Maybe I need a weather alert radio to reach the 11's.
