Thumbs up

Well depending on what gears you have really don't think you will have a promblem.Get some bfg drags while you are at it and launch around 2000rpms you should make in the 12s.Have seen similar cars go 12.60s in the heat with a few more mods,ie.373's,headers,exhaust,and a shift kit.Good luck.

How high of a stall are you going to get?

2800 and up with some drag radial you should be in the 12's.

I'm saving up for a TC too, so I can get in to the 12's.

Good Luck.

A friend of mine bone stock went 13.7. Then after a filter, lid, freemods, cutout and nitto's went 13.03 @ 108 w/ only a 2.03 60ft. Now he's got a 3000 stall and a ram air kit. Let's see what he get's next.

I would say take it to the track. Just because you've heard they can run such and such doesn't mean it will (I am not saying you quoted magazine times either). Different conditions ... Where I live, no bone stock LS1 will ever run faster than 13.7 (with a great driver). Just as an example.

What converter are you planning on? Find out how well you and your car run at the track, from there we can guess your performance increase.
