Are 12.6xx's respectable times for bolt-on only LT1's?

Just wondering if running in the 12.6xx's with nothing more than bolt-ons is respectable? That means stock cam, stock heads, stock shortblock and no power adders. Also given the car is 3700 LBS should be taken in for account.

Yes. Oops I see you are from Texas. 12.6's in the rest of the country are decent. Everyone in Texas runs 11's.

I try to run them when I only go to the track. Sometimes they are on when I go to work the morning before. They are not terrible, I take the interstate at 70 MPH and go around curves with them. I do however not try to drive them as say my stock 245/50/16 tires

Summit has the 15x3.5 Weld Draglights for $114.95x2
Pep Boys has the tires for $28.99x2 165R15
Mr Gasket 5/16 Spacers a pair $11.95 from Summit
Auto Zone 12MMx1.5 Closed W/washer $1.29 Each


I havent seen any LT1's run 11.xx's in bolt-on form here in Texas. No in Lousiana I have heard of one- Frank!
