Intake/Exhaust/Gears--1/8th Mile Times?

What should an LT1 car run, assuming a good driver and traction, with the following mods?

CAI
Loudmouth
4.10's (M6 car)

Thanks.

I would say with perfect traction a 13.5 could be pulled off with good shifts. but I heard the first to second shift with 4.10's is hairy. I heard it goes by super fast.

My buddy's catback'ed '99 SS runs 8.5's @ 87. I geuss there's that much of a difference between LT1/LS1 eh? I'll be happy with a 8.7. Sweet, any other opinions?

Well Bigginz said 13.5 et...so I was saying he, black6spdta, was asking for 1/8th mile not 1/4th mile. And the whole camaro hater thing was maybe, as a joke, he thought his camaro would run a 13.5 in the 1/8th cause its a slowmaro....

I didn't see the 1/8 mile part. Well, I gave you a 1/4 mile est. anyway. Hope you have fun with that.

I am guess header would be required to get significantly into the 8's, particularly with street tires and 4.10's...
