my 97 6 spd LT1 went 9.0x with a K&N and a slipping clutch with 105k miles.
pulled the T56 and swapped in a TH350 trans with a Vig 3000 and went 8.57 @ 80.
removed the muffler and had some cool weather and went 8.38 @ 81
put in 4.10 gears, elec water pump, 52mm TB, & UD pulley and went 8.19 @ 82
removed 60 lbs of weight and had COLD weather and went 8.09 @ 84.
This is still a stock manifold and dual cat car... LT1's can run well too if you get serious about it. I look forward to doing some more bolt ons this winter and hopefully being more competitive. Shon Herron (bolt on record holder) has got me into this LT1 "bolt on war" craze!

Then a break through. You figure out what might put you over the edge and the weather stops you. Over and over again the same scenario for months and months. Then finally you make it after many financial sacrifices only to find out another guy already beat you a day or two earlier. So what you've been trying to accomplish for years is finally achieved and squashed all in the same week. Welcome to my world. Come on in if you want but you enter at your own risk. It's NOT fun. :/ Going fast is a blast but going after some record can REALLY put you in the poor house. Good luck buddy. You're going to NEED it.

and what's amazing about our current bolt on LT1 record holder is that it really was not that hard to do to get where he's at right now... he did not spend that much $$ nor did it take him long to do (less than a year!). sure, he's at the point now where it's going to take some serious $$ to get much faster, but that's expected.

14.05 @ 98ish on a 2.1 if I remember right (ex-wife drivin)
MAC headers dropped it to 13.5
nittos dropped to 13.2
cold weather (as witnessed by PSJ) to 12.9
vigilante and the rest of the mods to 12.44
all with 3.23s
it's gone 12.07 still stock heads/cam and 3.23s (no juice either)
there are some tricks there and some good weather
edit: when SAR2K ran his 11.95 his DA was lower than -1000 ft, to his credit he never hid that fact from anyone

OK Jeff,
I wasn't trying to look for sympathy or discourage some friendly competition. I just wanted to make sure you knew what you are gettting into. You seem well aware so that's cool. It is relatively easy to get to low twelves but like you said it gets to a point where all the little stuff aint going to cut it.
JL,
What's up? I told you to put some 373's or even 410's in a long time ago. You might have gone deep in the 11's by now. Instead it looks like you picked up some more cars. I picked up a couple too.

Most running at Atlanta Dragway during the fall months are running 13.7-14.2 @97-101 MPH. I have not ran my Z28 yet but hopefully, once she is painted I will have some stock times for reference.

And Tekpro, didnt know I had hurt you like that. It's all good, just drop me a line when you are ready to put that thing deeper in the 11s and I'll hook you up!!
But to get back on topic, this car actually went mid 13s with 17"SS Wheels, tune, CAI, shifter. Typical first things. And now it runs the numbers in the sig with the parts listed below....

that is how I felt about my 94PPM car, more and more time/money and didnt pick up anything.
And you are right, no matter what you run, I will still have the M6 record, HA!!

That northeast comment is bullshit. Etown has great alt, I've seen a ton of stock LT1s run in the 13s there.
and Zigroid, please decrease your signature banner to under the 500x150 limit.
