Just came across a file saved on my computer and I remembered that I looked at a bolt on 2000 ls1 t/a that ran 11.90. It didn't seem to have enough stuff done to it to get that E/T. What do you think? I see many cars going faster but it seems to require something such as nos, cam, etc.

3200 stall, shift kit, trans. cooler,
SLP headers and MAF, CORSA Exhaust system (no CATS.), cutout, maf
3.73 gears,
HAL adjustable rear shocks, adjustable torque arm, front and rear performance springs, lcas, phb, custom tuning

I just was curious. It seems like its geared well, had drag radials. What do you think?

 

It's possible, a few bolt-ons can go a long way with an LS1. Plus, he may have had some weight reduction done, as well as being a good driver, and good track conditions.

 

There's a member on ls1tech - something like 02blackls1? - that goes 11.70's with bolt ons and suspension. I have a pretty good video of his car pulling the wheels - suspension goes a long way.

 

My 2000 Formula in 2001 ran 12.15 mods:
lid, loudmouth, 3500 converter, Predator tune, and ET streets.
No headers, stock 3.23 gears
So I'd say 11s can be done with those mods.
Best bolt-on LS1 runs in the bottom 11s.
