I ran a Crane210/224 with stockheads na and ran 11.40 116.59 with a 1.47 shortime. My car weighed 3230 at the time. The car now weighs a little more. I just installed a Joe O cam that he designed for ported heads. I decided to see if I could go faster with the stockheads before i changed to the ported ones. I am getting the car tuned next week but I plan on running it Saturday. The car is very rich because i don't have the vacuum that I had before and the computer is dumping fuel. I'll keep you guys posted but I have a gut feeling that once tuned the bar will be raised. Wish me luck. Frank95z

13.2 at 101.32 BUT this is a mild ZZ3 cam 208/221 .474/.510 in a 4300lbs. Caprice with VERY mild 2800 stall and 3.42s and also on a plain mailorder 87 octane tune. Not a great number but not bad once you look at those details. The car is mellow enough that just back in september I loaded up the wife dog and hooked up the boat for a 500+mile weekend trip. Going to shoot for 12s this weekend full weight then pull some excess crap off the car.

Just ran Sunday and managed a 13.37 @ 108. I should be well into the 12's, but of course I have exuses 
, so here they are: Exuse #1, had to shift at 5500rpms since I have a bad miss at ~5800-6000 (opti). Exuse #2, second time ever to the track w/ the 6spd, but managed a 2.15 60' on the 13.3 run. Exuse #3, 80 degrees and very humid in this Florida weather. Exuse #4, was on street tires (245/50/16)
Vid of 2 of my runs: http://www.crazyz28.net/Videos/Crazy...day.Sunday.wmv
I'm hopin by January or February I should have a new opti and some borrowed DR's, so 12's should be reachable, right?
EDIT: Mods are XE 230/236, stock heads, Mac mid-length headers and cutout, CAI, tuned by myself w/ 12.8:1 A/F, and 3.73s.

wow... so these LT1's run 12's with just a good cam?
So if i were to run LT4 conversion and forced induction of some type (probly turbo)... what kinda times could i expect? I mean, not so much boost that it aint drivable everyday... But some.

Nobody is going 12s with JUST a cam, stall, gears, headers, catback, coldair system are all necessary.
I put my Caprice together backwards I did the cam and went a best of 14.9, then the stall and went 14.1, then gears and got 13.9 with sticky tires, now I have headers and went 13.6 on street tires and 13.2 on stickies still full weight. If the weather cooperates I believe I can coax a 12 out of it still full weight. See above and my cam/stall/gears are all very mild, the headers pulled it all together and let it work right because it is the system not the parts that matter. You drop a HOT cam and LT4 heads on your car without all the periferals and I guarantee you my whale of a car will still be faster.
WEll i saw some full aluminum heads for $1400 or so. Then a good cam. I wasn't really talking about the lt4 cam... just a decent cam in general. I thought the heads were awesome... but then again i probly picked that up from advertising.
I may get a turbo kit (or s/c... depends on what i find out on the pair), good heads, and cam. I will follow up with stall and gears (posi). I ultimatly want to run 8.5:1 compression with forged rotating assembly and boost the **** out of it. But forged rotating assembly and rebuild is kinda pricy when tagged along with heads and forced induction.
First thing im buying for the car is suspension parts anyways. But i would like to plan ahead.

Stock f-body heads are aluminum and NOT superior to the irons matter of fact MOST of the LT1 aluminums flow less than all the irons with only the best aluminums equalling the irons flow. In now way saying swap to the irons just saying the "aluminum is better" thing is old and hard to stamp out ignorance. LT4 parts are talked about like the best things ever BY NEWBIES and magazines, those of us who have been around awhile try to keep this stuff in check but it is hard.
