A friend of mine has a Z with LT's, no cats,Bullet w/turn down, 3.73's, 3500 stall and hand controls(he's in a wheel chair)......any way.....he took down a LS1 Z with LT's and a lid (I don't know about the gears).
This was at the local mid-night testing facility about a week ago and I was not there....but several people have stated that it was by 3 cars.

I know that this info is second hand, and I have a way low post count on here....but I trust him and the people that relayed the story to me, but I hope this gives you a direction.

Ohh....almost foregot.....his Z has been lightened a lil. The ac is gone but everything else is there and the hand controls might off set that....plus he has to let the tranny shift itself.

There is no mention of driveline or how the race will be set, such as from a stop or roll.

Either way the LS1 with a good driver is capable of a low 13, so you need to be running mid 12's to put some car lengths on him. If your a auto and he is a m6 from a stop you will need less mods but if reversed you will need more to out power him.
