Default my first Ls combo. What will it run?

Ok, I just switched my Camaro's from a Old school 12.5:1 355 that ran 10.50's on a 150 shot to a Carbed Ls-1.

It's a '01 Ls-1 stock bottom end, with
- stock 706 heads (flow almost identical #s as 241 but with 61cc instead of 241's 66cc)
- TICK PERFORMANCE custom n2o cam ( cam card in photo )
- Victor Jr intake
- QFT e85 850
- 1 3/4" long tube headers
- built 350 turbo trans
- 4800 stall
- 3.90 gears
-28x9-15 M/T slicks
- Performer RPM n2o system with 150 jets
- Car weighs 2990 lbs with me

Thanks , drove it down the road yesterday . It pull a lot harder than my solid roller 12.5:1 355 I just pulled out.
The 355 ran high 11s on motor & 10.50's on a 150 shot.
Hope this Ls will run as good or better & should be more "street friendly"

Crazy how that works . Lol

Pretty much every one feels the same as you that it should run low 10's or high 9's on a 150 shot.

I'm excited to see what it does cause my car is a killer off the line (1.39-1.45 normal 60' times) with old motor.

Stall is a Redneck 5200 nitrous convertor , but with old motor it hit around 4800. The couple time I've flashed it with the Ls-1 its going to around 5000. So she's gonna leave pretty hard on the sauce

Redneck...lol...I had an Art Carr (who also made the Redneck converters) 4500 behind my 406. Then behind the LS it was not liking the LS....60's were good, and after some debate about the converter, I found it was slipping 17% @ 7000
Had a new converter built somewhat locally.... WOW what a difference.

BTW, the guy who was building for Art Carr/Redneck.... is now Freakshow Performance in TX. (Since AC closed)
I was going to go back with him, but shipping back and forth "IF" there was an issue was a deal breaker

I would think at that weight, and with that stall and gear set you should run high 10's in cool weather and if your suspension is set up good luck and keep us posted!!!!
