That's decent for an otherwise stock LT1. If you want to go faster, you will need some headers, maybe a camshaft change, certainly some PCM programming, some lower control arms, and a swap to a looser torque converter. That should do it for low 13's. Working on the launch with some drag radials should tickle the E/T into the high 12's.

All of the factory stock Z28's of the mid-90's were running high 13's. Those numbers were great and represented a full-second faster than the Z28's of the late 80's / early 90's. When the 1998 Camaro Z28 came out, the good LS1's were mid-13 second cars when factory stock. Some of them were high 13-second cars. Some of the six-speed cars were able to squeak a 13.2 second quarter mile out of the traps. I don't think there were ever any 12-second F-body that were factory stock with possible exception to some of the tuners from places like Mecham or SLP. Oh, and AL's Formula of course!

Re: stock 02 z28 quarter mile

Best way to know what your car runs is to run it at the track. I have watched six speed ls1 cars run 15's at the track because the owner couldn't drive. I have watched others crack into the high 12's. It's easy to speculate on what your car should run. Spend $15 and go to a test n tune night at the local track. It will be the most fun you have had and it will be exhilarating and humbling at times.

Re: stock 02 z28 quarter mile

my car went 13.2 with lid, loudmouth 1. Thats it. AUTO and 2.73s gears!!! with a 2.0 60ft and still have the ls1 intake.

if your ls1 car goes high 13s you have a problem or your DA blows.

Buddy's '01 or '02 Z28 M6, stripped (wind-up windows!) except for T-tops (weird, huh?), totally bone stock, nothing removed, on OEM *all-season* tires did 13.4 @ 107.x at New England Dragway way way way back when.
