13.5s or better in good weather.

My bone stock LT1 has run 13.89 at 98.2, and the last LT1 I had ran 13.94 at 98.8 bone stock also and it had 2.73 gears.

You shoukd be able to go solid mid 13s, look in to some gears and a torque converter for your next mods.

I hit 13.814 @ 100.44 nearly stock when my car was an auto(3.23s). Oh yeah, I also had a 3710# race-weight.

I'd say with traction you should be good for mid 13s.

Get a converter and look for 12s <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
