Ran a 13.19 @ 103.45 w/1.92 60'

I removed the ac, abs, spare tire, and jack... Other than that i am close to full weight...
2000 stall, headers, and most bolt-ons with stock; heads, cam, & bottom end...

I really wanted 12's but i guess i will wait for next year...

It looks like you are very conservative on the stall. A top-end 9.5" converter (like a Vigilante 3200) could problably drop your ET three-tenths (0.30) over your present converter. Then you'll be in the 12s.

if you are into removing alot of weigh , then take out the front bumper support, rear bumper support, and front sway bar, that all adds to a 55lbs off the car and without the sway bar the front end really lifts, it worked for me;

and yes that is a 454 1970 chevelle in the other lane getting the hurt put to him in the 60' and the quarter, that car was LOUD,

his 13.5 @ 105 2.2 60'
mine 12.2@ 111 1.74 60'

i had a chance to talk to him later that night and he swears I had nitrous, NOPE, just a N/A ls1 with bolt-ons, he had his dynoed at 368 hp and 389 TQ, mine is 305 hp and 340 TQ,

Gotta luv the light weight and arei dynamics of our cars, plus look at his 60' can't go fast if you can't get the power to the ground

Lets be fair now. Yours is more than 305 hp at the wheels with all the bolt-ons.

It might be that low, a guy on the west coast of FL put down 298 RW, his car just went 12.0 @ 110 the other night at BMP.

For the record, my car with full bolt ons did 329 and ran 12.20's. But, mine was full weight, he might have a lot of weight reduction. Takes less HP to move it down the track.

Just my $.02

See bold text above, and he's quoting the factory crankshaft hp and torque numbers (which we all know are underrated for these cars).
I was just pointing out that if he's going to brag about beating a car with more hp, he aughta use his actual hp.
I'm not disparaging him at all for running well and whooping on an old big block car. Been there and done that literally hundreds of times. But claiming that he did it with 305hp is ...........................
