figure on about just under 300 at the rear wheel stock (estimate ~350ish at the crank) with a stock m6 if your a good driver and with perfect racing conditions you may get a 12.9 if your are lucky, average is 13.5ish on a stock car.

but honestly, how many people keep their cars stock (at least ones that are mechanically inclined at all)

12.9-13.9 is the range for a stock LS1 f-body. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=391550

You can easily get a nice T/A with low miles for $15k-17k.
