no. im being 100% serious. Grow up. My friend with his cammed LS1 is a member here, although he hasnt posted in years. Hes gone with me to the track and can corroberate what we've seen. Not every track is comparable. There are two tracks within 2 hours from where i live. One is much nicer and the other one is much faster. Both sea level. People seem to prefer the "faster" one.......

I'm sure the da hurt you a little. But that's bolt-on territory bud. Actually we got Notches(ls1 Camaro) to go over 116 w/o headers and only about 200lbs worth of weight reduction. Decent da though.
I went 112.8 with mac headers/ory, udp, lid, maf at full weight when the car was ls1.
Your cammed car should be there or more at your weight. not really trying to bust your ***** but something is up. Maybe it's your driving, maybe tune. Who knows but it should go better.

Its more common than you think. Just look at many of the results from cam-only cars on this very site. It depends on the air/weather conditions, if the car has supporting mods, the type of cam used, vehicle weight, etc etc. But you can't expect all of them to run that well without knowing all the details.

Sorry man but if you consider 113mph "normal" for a ls1 your sadly mistaken. These cars have been around for longer than a decade we know what these things can and can't do. Im sure its a dogshit setup or the guy can't drive, or a combination of both.

All depends on the track prep and conditions
Not saying they don't, just saying ideal conditions is preferred

somehow it was a "dogshit" (seems to be your favorite word, sounds like u have some sick fetish) setup before but somehow picked up mph and not so "dogshit" after even though nothing was done to it.

The REAL thing I have noticed is this -
People who care about track times do full suspension, weight reduction, gears, shocks/struts etc. and power mods
People who care less about track times and enjoy just driving will throw power mods at the car, and then when it does worse then that other guys who had full suspension, gears, shocks, struts, weight reduction, people say his setup sucks.
For example.
Local FULL bolton, weight reduced (3,200# raceweight WITH 350+ lb driver) camaro with every suspension mod, 4:30 gears, magnum t 56, slicks and skinnys, weld pro stars ETC ETC ETC ran a 11.99 @ 115 to my H/C stock suspension on rear 18" drag radials with a 3,800# ran 12.29 @ 115.30 was talking mad **** on my gto. He had a 1.7 60' to my 1.9 60'. What he fails to realize, is his tire/wheel combo cost him over DOUBLE what my H/C setup did in my old ls1. So his $4-5,000 in tires and wheels, and suspension vs my $1,000 H/C setup. I was real butthurt let me tell ya lolz. Oh both cars aaround 3,000 DA

yeah ok man, i guess everybody at the track couldnt drive on those days. its a conspiracy. My auto LT1 camaro went from trapping 95-97mph to 101+mph in similar conditions on another day, but hey maybe someone came in and added HP to the car when it was sitting on the driveway while i wasnt looking somehow it was a "dogshit" (seems to be your favorite word, sounds like u have some sick fetish) setup before but somehow picked up mph and not so "dogshit" after even though nothing was done to it.
