I have a 93 z28 auto with stock 3.23 gears.
With magnaflow catback, k&n cai, and Falken ziex all seasons...I ran about 14.25 (only one night at the track). Added tubular Lower Control Arms and dropped that down to 14.11 (only one night at the track). I know a lot of people are posting better times, but that is what I got. I am literally letting off the brake and stomping the gas at the light...nothing fancy. I have very little to no wheel spin, even with the all seasons on stock wheels.

My friend with an m6 formula did 13.8 at 101 with just a flowmaster catback and k&n intake last weekend at MIR on a 2.1 60' shifting at 5800.

You also have to consider locations. Guys that don't travel all over the country don't realize the difference. MIR, Atco, Englishtown, C.C. Maryland, Pomona CA, Orange County, CA, etc, are mine shafts compared to tracks around here.
Besides, the LT1 and LS1 hp is all over the place. I have had virgin LT1s on my dyno from 235 to 280 rwhp. LS1 from 275 to 325. Production tolerances (head CCs and deck clearances in production engine vary widely, thus compression ratios vary widely) and how the engine was broken in (big effect on ring seal) and carbon build up. An untouched car will easily vary a min of a couple to three tenths between here at Tulsa or the track at Noble, OK, or Ennis TX, or Topeka, KS (usually a tenth slower than Tulsa) compared to the tracks I mentioned above. Guys from both coasts feel all fast until everybody gets on the same tracks, and we all run about the same.

I agree, look at BG vs Cecil track times, granted there is also about a 40 degree temp difference due to times of year, but most lose 6-7 tenths.

I've run at Bowling Green many times. Always killer starting line. It's a great track. For sure faster than most tracks around here, evn in the heat. Lots of trees = oxygen.
If your not fast at there, your not really fast. Your home track is what's fast. LOL

NHRA Stock & Super Stock used to run off of national class records instead of the soft-assed indexes we run off of now. (My car will normally run over a second under the index if I need it to.)
One of the first races NHRA added (Only the Nationals at Indy, then later the Winter Nationals at Pomona, CA in the 1960s when I first started) was the Spring Nationals at Dallas. Nobody traveled much back then, just raced locally. The first Spring Nationals at the then new Dallas track was an eye opener to many. Cars from all over the country. The east coast and west coast national record holders got there and couldn't even run the records they had set. The really bad-fast cars we had been reading about in Speed Sport News and National Dragster weren't so damn fast all of a sudden. No faster than we were, many not even as fast.

DA, the great equalizer. LOL

That's a cool read Ed. Do you make it out to the east coast much anymore?

Englishtown a couple years ago was the last time. Don't travel as far as I used to.
Probably won't travel far, if I race at all, next year. Getting too damn old.
Car is for sale (40K), but no offers yet. If it doesn't sell I will probably run a few close ones. If I do I will likely run Bowling Green the week before Indy again, then Indy.

Indy was the same week as the LTX race the past two years. Just missed it a week.

Ed, you really need to bring that car to the Ltx shootout this upcoming year. From the looks of it they are moving the date back so it won't interfere with Indy, and they are switching to a different track I believe but it's not a for sure. I know a lot of people would love to see your car run

Don't think mine fits their rules anymore. Had it back halved. Now it's 13"X31" tires and a 4 link.

i'm sure they will allow a thing or two to slide, it's not super strict rules...

13.52 @ 104.x with a KN CAI and stock catback with weld-in flowmaster muffler.

Never ran it bone stock, I bought it with 25k miles and the aformentioned mods.

Ran 13.20 @ 107 with KN CAI, flowmaster muffler, and MAC mids/ORY.

All on 245/16 street tires.

Here's a short video of mine. This was my best with 2.73 gears, shorty headers, and CAI.

I ran a 12.7 with suspension, stall, intake, and exhaust. 1.66 60' on stock 10 bolt

My 93 A4 Z28 with only a k&n panel filter, cat delete, and infamously crappy flowmaster 80 series runs 13.7 @100. My 94 M6 Z28 also runs 13.7, but at 4mph faster; it spins all the way through 1st on crappy street tires, so it would probably run 13.4-13.5 with better street tires. It has an slp cai, hypertech chip (worthless), and slp lm exhaust only. The point is, I can crack a 13.5 with decent street tires with only a coupe bolt ons adding maybe 20hp max, so a stocker can definately tap 13's. But here you go, this should help... Here is Motorweeks video of the 97 Camaro SS, and it ran 13.2

13.80 spinning with street tires bone stock.. My first mod was a tune, 3.73 gears, mid tube headers and 52mm TB and it felt like a shot of nitrous after those mods.. I then added a Hot Cam and ran 12.90's

If I remember correctly I ran a 14.1 w/ 273's a CAI and Flowmaster Catback. That was after running a 14.9 bone stock my first time out ever with no clue what I was doing. This was my 97 Z28.

How the hell did you run 12.7 but only trap 104? Mine traps 104 at 13.7???? I only have a SLP CAI, SLP LM1 cat back, and hypertech chip on it. I'm assuming you have better than that on yours, looking at that hood. Altitude? I'm only at about 50-100ft.

Well his 60 ft time was 1.66 ....DRs and a 3600 converter would be the answer for the discrepancy!
