Sounds like the guy is full of chit....but 12's have and can be done on stock LS1's....everything has to be just right as mentioned before.
And Grease beat me to what I had in mind.

Go to "Cal's 8 sec car" and you'll see the 8.50sec @ 159mph street beast. He's in close cahoots with Kenny Duttweiler too.

The 58mm is a different story though.....
That guy is full a chit.. raising your idle 200 rpm ? No, it doesn't raise it at all unless you screw it up. Thats not the point of a bigger TB, it's all about WOT cfm, cause thats where it matters
Part throttle is affected and improved, mainly throttle response, but i've never heard anyone loosing HP.-Shannon

Damn... I'm emailing this guy... that address is like within a minute drive of my house.
I'll see if it's the same person that supposedly P&Pd those heads... these guys seem to have their own company -- this other guy supposedly just does stuff for friends.

BWahhaha !!! They don't install new blades ???? LMAO ! It would be more like a 2000 rpm raise in idle... That would make a 4 mm gap total around the throttle body.... LMAO, I would stay far away form anyone who claims to do this. IF they can port and polish heads so well, they could surely slice up some blades... Lol
Additional mass ? Hmmm, last I checked, We have the thinnest blades on the market. Mine weight in at a whopping few grams Lmao... Even if the blade was thicker, how the hell will it's weight affect the airflow...lol

There was one guy who hit 10s at a little over 120mph on a stock headed LS1 camaro. But that car was extremely gutted, had very steep gears, and a very high stall converter. Can't remember if he had a cam or not though.
Ditto on the TB comments above. I say you go call that guy out and watch him run one of those 10sec times for you.
