How many miles have you guys' LT1 cars seen? Also, what mods are you running, and how long have they been on? Finally, list any track and dyno numbers you might have.
Thanks fellas, I'm just wondering how many modded high mileage LT1s are out there.

I have 89k. K&N CAI, Underdrive Pullies, Hypertech Chip and Thermo, Raptor Muffler. No clue how many miles the mods have had on them, I bought a modded car to save myself the money. So far it has just had a few mild problems, the passenger side window motor is out, and now my right blinker isn't working. But it will be fixed tomorrow I hope.
Anyway, I plan on just doing new exhaust, headers, stall, intake and throttle body. Maybe 3.73's, but I plan on buying a new SS (hopefully a 2007 GM Willing). And at that point I will be out of College and making the big bucks so I think I'm gonna turn my Z into my Strip car. Maybe throw a 572 Big Block in there, a Supercharger, and all the other goodies. My goal is 900HP and a car that isn't streetable
. Kind of a hobby to keep me busy, plus who doesn't love the strip?

Mine has a little over 112,000....
Mods consist of edelbrock Shorties, magna flow cat-back,moroso cai, 4.10 gears, rebuilt rearend with eation posi, and a pro 5.0 shifter....Im actually just recently sold the magna flow and im in the process of selling the shorties...Going with longtubes and true duals with x-pipe and dynomax bullet mufflers.
I haven't had any track runs cause the transmission is poppin out of 3rd pretty bad so I decided not to go to the track until I get that fixed...
The owner of the car before ran a 13.2 at a trap of somewhere around 102-103...
I really wanted to run it a few times at the track the way it is before I throw the cam in, but I highly doubt that will happen....as I am going crazy for a cam

I had exhaust, chip, UD pullies, K+N CAI, air temp sensor, descreened MAF, thermostat, coil, MSD, 8.5 mm wires, and I'm sure I forgot a couple more. Ran it like this from 52,000 until 105,000, developed a major miss due to a stretched timing chain. For the last 5000 have been running a 383 setup with well over 12,000 grand into it. My biggest problem was I couldn't keep a good trans in it. Now I finally found somebody who can build a good 4L60E, and the trans has been flawless with well over 500 horse going through it for 4,000 miles now. I had a problem with the convertor, but the problem was mainly my stall speed was too high for my application.

92,000 miles. Bought it in Jan 03 with 82,000 bone stock and have been modding since then. (mods in sig) No runs yet with the line-lock or waterpump though, not that they will make a big difference.
Ran a best of 13.15@106 last year with the 10-bolt and 3:42s. Ran 13.08@107 this year with the 12-bolt and terrible wheel hop. I need to get my new torque arm in
