All 5.bros run 12.4@116 stock just like every stock LS1 traps 107+...

I gotta wonder if some previous owner put a small stall converter in your car before you owned it. I've watched that vid a few times and I never see your cars nose drop down as is typical of a stock stall setup. Normal for a stock stall is to jump out of the hole strong from the initial brake release/torque spike but then for it to bog down for a bit before getting up into the meat of the power band. A stock LS1 - or LT1 or LS2 - is gonna bog, no way around it unless you can manage to spin the tires to keep the rpms up AND keep that spin slow enough that you don't blow the tires off. <<If you were spinning them like that, it is possible to hit that 60' time on street tires but just barely.
Got any videos where we can hear your car taking off? What rpm does your car go to when you footbrake it before the tires start to spin? Proper working brakes, you should be able to reach around 1600-1700rpm. What about yours?

I am not doubting certain things such as an LS1 can't beat a 5.0 or that an LS1 cannot run a good ET or Trap because I know both statement are simply not true. The LS1 is quite capable of running with many cars of today and is an overall strong car.
The only thing I am questioning is the trap speed and the mods listed. That is all and nothing else. I was just trying to make a point that "I feel" that there is a higher stall converter in his mix of mods mentioned. He did get off the line pretty quick and then kept pulling almost like the converter locked.
Regardless, as I stated, I will give 4PointSlow the benefit of the doubt since he ran his car and he knows what is done to it. I could question it but I have no right to call bs. So again, I still say that his driving and his car deserve a big pat on the back and I am totally impressed.

I would say all stock LS1 M6 cars should easily trap 107+. Not the A4 cars though. Like Mike Morris said, they are more likely to be in the 103-106 range. My bone stock to the paper air filter 99 Z28 trapped a best of 108.5 bone stock at 2000' DA. It never trapped below 107 unless I missed a gear. This was 14-15 years ago. Had a bunch of friends with LS1 F-bodies, and they all were right around 107-109 bone stock with all different versions of the F-body.
