I underestimated the Lt1
I just wanted to share that i underestimated thats all. I was pretty happy with the results never said it would go 12's or anything. I dont expect it to go 107 ill expect it to go more once i get some money together.

That is movin'! I think there was some good driving besides the crazy low DA.
Edit: I saw you're looking for a T-56 for the swap, but I misread it at first and was thinking your car's a manual. Is that the case?

Gatorhead 12's bone stock? i doubt it....
Depends on the humidity, track prep and temperature. They run in a stock class and thats a normal time for them anywhere from 12.8-13.5 is normal. I can't tell you why there is almost 1 second of variance betwen what one runs and what the other runs, maybe they have seated their rings better, driver mods, less miles on the chasis IDK jsut stating that you can't say it can't be done because it has and now the track is open on a regular basis lol.
I will tell you that the lower number the guy has a 4k stall so...........but the motor is still stock!
this is my opinion on the LTX LSX topic....if you only have $1,000 to spend an LSX will run stronger than the LTX engine all day long.....but once you have done everything to it, heads, cam, tuning and all the LTX engine will be pretty close to what the LSX can do...... all i know is i can outrun many LSX cars with the same if not more done with my built LT1 at the drag strip or street......
hmmmm my lt1/t56 swamp is actually bone stock, factory manfolds,stock camaro air intake with a cone filter, no tune just a vats bypass, 82k miles ,madza 4.10's,26" bfg dr's only real performance additon is a 2 1/2" duals with a X-pipe and magnaflo 7" ricer cans, im not much of a driver and that night went 13.00@111 2.058 60' , my car weighs 3050 at the starting line .Like white406Z said i also underestmated the lt1

BUT, go do a search on cam only LS1s and you will see how they make as much and even more hp than H/C LT1s, but see how they little they make after they add aftermarket heads to an LS1. Sure, they still make more hp OVERALL than the H/C LT1s. But they won't gain as much overall from a heads swap and that's because they flow 230 cfm from the factory, have bigger valves from the factory, and a 15* valve angle from the factory. All of which is what gives the LS1 the factory, initial advantage. You can only port the LSX heads so much...LOL But it doesn't change the fact that you will spend more in the long run.
^^^
All of which is why I still prefer a bolt on LT1. Run low 12s in a stock internal N/A LT1 and a healthy budget, and watch the other guys blow their money to do the same in a car 2-3 times the price when they didn't have to.
Sorry. End of workweek rant off. LOL

right now im running 13.71 @ 100....with LTs, and 3.73s
im planning on hitting high 12's with more bolt ons and a dyno tune
......forgot to say also with no stall and no cam 
My cousin ran again on wensday night and pulled a 13.2 @ 107mph with a 2.1 60ft.Just K&N intake,no cat, and a borla catback.The car has over 100K miles also.He could have just got a factory freak if others are running a good bit slower with more mods?
