Well I can only say what I have seen first hand and that is bolt-on 2vs running 12s close to full weight. With cams and a small shot it ran 11.5 @ 117.It is now a nitrous car and makes 52x. I have see a cams only auto 2v trap 111.xx at 3500lbs. With a small turbo on 5lbs it wen low 11s at 122+. On 8lbs made 45x and beat a whipple cobra that has been 128. On 12lbs ran with a vortech boss that has been 136. So I know what they can do in the right hands.

Best run I had in my old bolt-on LT1 was a bolt-on 96 Cobra with an awesome driver. Dead even with the slightest hair lead going to me

You haven't seen a 2v breaks 13's? I can assure you that with slicks on my car I could hit 13's. What tires are they running?

They can do it with the only weight reduction being 15s

Far and few between. 99.9% go bottom 13s with every bolt-on possible. Been there, done that. Hell most bored block, heads/cams/ported intake/full bolt-on geared cars will be lucky to see bottom 12's. Without built motor/FI a 2v is nothing to talk about.

Doesn't matter how impressive it is, if an LSx-something has done it quicker/cheaper then it sucks. And if you like/have something else, then you're wasting your time and money.

Somehow I knew this was going to go from simple street cars to all out race cars.

That's not what I am implying. I too was a 2v owner once long ago. Seeing as you've had experience with them I don't need to go into detail about how they are, by no means, the ideal power plant for a N/A build. However, as I stated in my last comment, with FI and worked shortblock they can make noise.
