I was referring to all the bolt ons and everything listed, plus the hotcam and 2800 stall......I thought that was a given...

Used DRs go cheaply on the site all the time, like $250 mounted on tires - gears are pretty cheap too, buy em for like $175 and install em later if you have to. The stall I can understand, pretty pricy for a good one.

I paid $150 for my ET Streets mounted on salad shooters. They had a bit of use, but still a very good deal. Keep an eye on local boards and for sale section. There's always good deals on there.

Re: My guide to a low/flat 12 automatic

2800 stall and hot cam usually puts ya somewhere in the 12.7's area
Gotta disagree with you on that statement Antz. I was running 12.8's @107 with bolt-ons: Mac headers, ATR catback, 3.73's, stock A4, stock stall, stock internals, cold air, nitto's, lca's, Random tech Adj T/A. Basic stuff.

Leatherneck had the hotcam and Vig 2800 stall running 12.3's with no suspension mods on nitto's.

BTW, these runs were at Cecil and several years ago.

Well hell doesnt the fastest Cam only LT1 have a cam that is smaller than the hotcam and is running high 11's? I know its a a4 car. I have seen cars run low 13's(13.3,13.2) @ 99mph. So if you can trap 107-109 you should be able to run a low/flat 12. Its all in the launch.

Cecils a really fast track. Was at the track w/ Mr.Bonus a few years back and all he ever managed w/ those exact mods were 12.7 w/ his 94...and your times defintely arent the norm w/ those mods

Yea, but that car that went high 11 had some major major weight reduction and it was on a perfect day with a perfect launch. I dont doubt some people could get a possible low low 12 or maybe even squeak a high 11.......but the vast majority are probably gonna be at 12.5 or higher.

Maybe Mr. Bonus can't drive and that's why he joined the ricer crowd

Hmmm . . . I know of plenty of guys with full exhaust, gears, intake and tire running high 12's @107. Jordon and Shawn both ran those times down in Texas with similiar mods with M6's. KevinG ran 13.0's @109 with those mods and FireChicken ran 12.8@111 with the same mods in a ram air T/A.

If you know how to launch and drive your car, I think that any LT1 can run those times with those mods.
