People have hit 12.2's w/ those mods (and shorty headers), so a 13.0 car w/ those mods is not impressive.

 

actually no car has hit 12.2 w/o headers!

 

Fastest is at like a 12.7 I believe, Its not impresive but a 13.0 for a cat back, cold air, gear converter car is about what it should run consistant for those mods maybe dip in to a high 12.

 

All boil's down to the idiot behind the wheel So to speak..

 

A 12 second car is verry fast imo. I was verry excited and impressed when i ran a 14.4 stock. It was my first and only time to a track granted. Most of the mustangs and camaros when i went(highschool nationals)we running high 14's low 15's and their were around 1,000 people with cars. Hopefully when my car is done ill dip into 12's. Then i can finally get that peksy neon srt4 that allways beats me.

 

check sig

dont need no stinkin headers

 

What size stall you running and what other mods do you have? 105MPH is bad *** for a stock manifold car

 

I would hope your built tranny has a nice converter in it. Now get sticky tires, headers, better catback, good cold air induction, and lighten up the car.

I know of a few cars running mid 12's with bolt ons, so its very possible, even without a converter.

Although the cheapest way is N2O.

There is a million different ways to get the times he wants, but he asked for the cheapest route. N2O is the cheapest, hands down. For ~$1000 he could buy and install N2O and run those times.

 

THose must be freaks and fresh motors....a 12.2??? My car has yet to go under 13.5 with a 1.78 60' I really wish someone could find out my problem.

You guys make it sound like 12.2's are nothing....with bolt-on's. I would like to see someone run a 12.2 straight out first run with just bolt-on's....yes it can be done....but it can't be repeated as easily as you state here.

 

I can vouch for SSMark. I ran up against him this Oct. He's actually ran faster then he did in the vid below.

I know a fellow with a LT1 M6. CAI/LT/Catback/4.10's, DR, carbon fiber DS and a few other small mods running 12.4X Of course I wish I could be there. It can be done but patience is key.

Whoa, i didnt know there was a video of me, sweet!! Unfortunatley in my cars old age I think she is starting to die off The last time at the track the best I could pull was a 13.1 @103.xx It may be the opti though so i may change that out in the spring. Regardless I am thinking about building a LE3, stock block and a bigger stall. Until I get the turbo motor done of course

Oh and I have a vig 2800 and 3.73 gears, full race weight minus skinnies for the 12.7.

The guy i was refering to had the almost the same mods as you in a 3400# car. Now were back at post #19.

 

It has been repeated numreous time's by a number of other people.. SOmthing in your car is causing it to run that way.. Whether it's the tune up or the driver.. Hard to say!
