my Buddy's freak Lt1 yeah my buddy has a 96 Lt1 formula, that with only bolt-ons ran a 12.9 with little weight reductions, just headers 12bolt, good custom Intake, and tuned him self, Is this **** normal, I haven't seen any run like this , with the 150shoot he ran one 11.7 and a 11.9, O and a 2400 Tc, I think thats about all he has done to it, he swears no cam or head work done, hes on BFG Dr cutting some 1.8 and 1.7's With a airbag and v6 springs
i have headers, th400, 9 inch, and a 200 shot and have been 11.17 at 120.....when i had headers, gears and a 150 shot in a 6 speed car i went 11.8 at 117...so in an auto thats easy
thats what i'm saying
with normal bolt ons, 12 bolt 4.10's, and some weight reduction with a fucked up opti on a stock tune and factory stock rubber suspension, i ran 13.1 @ 106 on a 1.81 60', 16" Et streets with an M6
had all been working well and hooked it better, 12's would have been in the bag. i tore the car down before i had a chance too try it all with a good opti, some suspension mods and tuning tho
its definately not that hard too do!

Sounds normal, full bolt on Lt1s should hit mid 12s easy, plenty have ran mid 11s with some dope, nothing amazing. Couple have even hit 10s bolt ons and gas. I bet Frans car with an electric water pump, rockers, some other basic bolt ons would hit 10s the way it sits

Yeah i think a lot of the bolt on LT1's would get faster times, if they start off with a 12 bolt. That is what gives you the capability to run slicks and launch like hell. Unfortunatley a lot of guys go ahead and stuff a cam in or do some headwork before that happens. Then the rear goes and they get a better one. I fall into that category of getting a cam 1st. I really wish i had a 12 bolt or 9 inch to treat the track how i want to.
So with that in mind i think the slicks are what is making you think that it is a freak.

Im runnin mid 11's on the stock rearend, haven't had any problems yet. Sounds like the car is a bit of a freak though, thats pretty fast for the small list of mods. Sounds like hes hookin up pretty good, wish I could hook up, thats my biggest problem. How is everybody else out there gettin the power to the ground???

Are you talking to me ? If so, I'm all stock internals and my 60ft was never better than a 1.8's. My 1/8th mile was 87 mph before my last batch of bolt-on mods. I now have all the bolt-ons you can do to a 6 spd LT1 car and the PCM is tuned. I also ran those numbers ( 12.61 @ 109 ) on a slammed suspension with 3" of drop
. If you were not talking to me then nevermind
If I had a 150 shot on top of my current setup I'm sure the car would be low 11's

What are yall calling full bolt on?? My car must be a dawg then if it's supposed to be running mid 12's at full weight with just bolt ons. There's not much left for me to bolt on. I havent tried out the 9" with 4.11 yet, maybe that'll pick me up some.

Also I think A4' cars will have an easier time as the Stock rear gets less wear with 10 bolt.
