I fell .006 short of my set goal, but all in all I am very happy w/ the year's outcome.
With CAI/catback I maxed out at 13.8 2 years ago, then I put on ZR1's and got stuck in the 14.0-14.1 range.
I cut a full second off my time with my Hooker LT's, 2800 Vigi, and skinnies... on Nitto's. All installed this year, starting in February.
13.006 @ 103.77 works for me
This year's goal is low/mid 12's if I get a chance to install my planned hotcam. I might send my converter back to PI at the end of the year to get my free restall, and bump it up to 3200 to compliment the hotcam. Smokn's car seems to run very well w/ the same setup, so I'd like to mimic it

I am so incredibly happy with both my cars I can't even begin to express it! They both exceeded my goals and I hope that will continue this spring.
My 1994 Z28 'vert ran a best of 12.849 @ 105.13 on a 1.77 60 ft with the spare tire & jack, back seats and passenger seats removed as my only weight reductions. It's strictly a bolt on car so I was thrilled. Last even of the year I was going for 12.7x by throwing skinnies on the front. Managed to pull some 1.68 & 1.69 short times but was running into a 20+ mph head wind all day. Best time was a 12.93 @ 102.5 mph! Wtihout the headwind I think I would have had my 12.7x!
My 2002 Z28 amazed me from day one. I took it to the track the first time at 1300 miles. Bone stock it ran a best of 3 runs of 13.47 @ 105.3 mph. That same day at the track after only $300 in mods plus drag radials it ran a 12.95 @ 109.x mph! Another $200 in mods and I'm running 12.5x's! Can't wait to see what it will do with the Ram clutch in it.
Big disappointment of the year - Got invited to the LT1 Bolt On Shootout by GM High Tech Performance Mag. It would have been cool because I would have been the only convertible but I couldn't make it due to work.
