It's going to depend on track, temperature, altitude, pressure driver skill and a bunch of other variables. Given your info - you will do like most cars her do - somewhere between hi 12's and mid 14's.

Take it to the track and find out - or get a tazzo and get a good approximation.

Dynotunes are mighty expensive, and hypercrap is well; crap... A mail order tune would be a fairly nice idea such as www.pcmforless.com or www.madz28.com

BTW You probably go out to Houston Raceway Park right? Just let me know when you go and we can meet up or something. Im at the track almost every friday.

The lt4 hotcam is the same cam that comes in the lt4 hotcam kit. I have the kit which includes the springs and 1.6RR. The tunning I got was through Bryan at www.pcmforless.com. It costed about $100 for my '94. A dyno tune will have better results but you pay a lot of $$ for it. Considering how common the hotcam is, Bryans mail order tune is pretty good for most peoples standards. I saw a huge improvement after it. It was a night and day difference.

IMHO, he is not pretty much stock. I say high 12's

"pretty much stock" is a matter of perspective. No disrespect intended.

See sig. CC305 isn't much bigger than a hotcam. If you can drive, mid 12s should be attainable.

We have a bud that just ran 13.4 with et streets a bit better than nittos but still don't think he got under 2.0 60fts.He has some mac headers,no cam,just 3.42 gears..maybe a cold air and thats about it not sure about pulleys.So I would say 12's should be very possible .Other buddy with 500hp at the engine ls1 gets 12.5 but thats on street tires.

A friend of mine ran a best of 12.75 with the hotcam kit, borla ex., M/T drags, 3:73 gear auto, CAI, Granatelli MAF, Pulleys, and other oddball mods. This was a mid 40 degree day with low altitude and he ran about 6 times. His 60' time was about 1.8 so you probably won't be any lower than his time, BUT you never know!!!

A full exaust, cam, geared LT1 is fully capable of 12's with traction........took me a long time to figure out that traction is where its at................
