You got basically just suspension mods. I would venture to say.......290rwhp and about 13.7's in the quarter.

13.7s you sure

thats sounds pretty slow for a lt1 with full exhuast, suspension, tires with ported t/b in a formula (light wieght)....i dunno but that doesnt sound good at all

i raced my friends ls1 from 20 roll and i beat him the whole way there..i only had the mods on my sig.

Get rid of the Hypertech power programer and get some real tuning (madz28.com)and you will see some gains worth while.... Ion will help you out

Size does matter. Your sig is too long. Forum rules are 5 line limit. Have pity on the dial-up people.

Go to the track. It'll tell you exactly how fast you can run in the 1/4.. unless you go to an 1/8 mile track I guess... btw the big brakes, stb, lowering springs, sfc's, etc.. will probably hurt the car in the 1/4 mile more than help it.

Have you weighed your (formula, light weight) receintly? It's probably not as light weight as you think it is.

As far as heads and cam... depends on the combo and the tune. Also, being able to drive helps alot.
