Well I was at the track (1/8) and I ran an 8.841 @ 78.58. My mods are in my sig. I did the math (8.841 x 1.55) and I came up with about a 13.7 in the 1/4 on a completely bone stock motor and I am leaving a lot on the table with my 1.963 60'. I spun on the line and my car is in bad need of a tune.

Do you think its possible for my M6 at full weight to run 12's with a CAI, LT's, cutouts, tune, and a couple of free/cheap mods? (once I get my 60' down) Do you know of any LT1's (A4 or M6) that are bolt-ons and in the 12's with full weight? I think I can do it.

 

It's very likely you can get into the 12's. I've seen a few people do it with full exhaust and some suspension upgrades, sticky tire etc.

 

I have done it and with the stock converter at that. It will definately take some sticky tires and some decent air, but it is pretty easily attainable IMO.

 

That's if your stock year doesn't blow up first

 

i ran a 13.2 with half an intake lobe wiped off in 85 degree weather with 195k miles on the stock longblock. Mods are in my sig, that was on a 1.95 60' before the cam, waterpump rockers, ect.

 

He allready has a 9" Although i don't think the 10 bolts are as weak as the internet hype suggests.

 

hells yea bolt ons can go 12's

 

It's easily done.. went 12.7 on a 1.91 60ft w/ LT's,CAI,Cutout, EWP, and some DR's.

 

FYI. To correctly convert 1/8 mile times to equivalent 1/4s, you either multiply the 1/8 time by a factor of 1.5625, or divide the 1/8 time by .64. This is based on some NHRA numbers in stock classes that assumes cars of this type typically make 64 percent of their ET in the 1/8, leaving only 36 percent of the ET in the second half of the 1/4.

 

So then will by bolt-ons how far into the 12's do you think will be achievable? I more than likely won't hit 300 rwhp with bolt-ons and tune.

 

bro, it really depends on how quick you wanna go... thers a bolt on LT1 here in the 11's.. but theres no interior... yada yada.

 

my 96 impala SS ran 12.97@102.63 with a bone stock iron head/baby cam LT1 That was @ 4100# raceweight and in very good weather. The sixty foot time was 1.709.

 

I wanted to stay full weight. I know there is an LT1 in town that has no performance or suspension mods and is running low 13's just with weight reduction.

 

4100# isn't heavy enough for ya?

 

I ran a 12.97 on DRs with the below mods. Basically just AS&M headers, Borla exhaust and SLP intake. BUt I think my LT1 is a freak. I regularly take to school LS1s stock and bolt on.

Just courious what "baby" cam you are running.
