What does it take to get an LT1 into the 12's?

If I put drag slicks on it might be possible to hit the 12's with a super good launch. The other thing that would make it tough for me is the heavier vert.
It certainly looks like the low 13's are in sight.

Took a cam, bolt ons and tune for me to go 12.80@107
As many bolt on cars touted on this board for going 12's - i've never seen one at any of the 3 tracks that I frequent often. Maybe it's just NEOhio that's cursed against the bolt on wonders

There was a track by my house that used to be HORRIBLE. It literally looked all wavy looking from the burn out box to the 1/4 lights. There were big spots that were uphill a little then downhill for a little. It was crazy as ****. I think it was becasue we went there in the winter htough? They must have to reroll it and pave it every spring with this ****ty PA weather or something.
And yes, full bolt ons, you can hit 12's. High, but you can do it. And the rear end will eventually die after so many crushing launches.

He said full exhaust, 1.6 rollers, electric waterpump, suspension, and drags. If you are a full bolt on car with 1.6 rockers AND an electric wp.... I would pray that you would be able to make a sub 12.7 pass on DRs. Lets be honest here, a properly driven car making ~300-310rwhp, which a healthy lt1 with these mods should make, will be capable of a mid 12..... possibly more. It has been done and can be done again. DRIVE THE HELL OUT OF THAT THING!
Re: What does it take to get an LT1 into the 12's?
Running 12s can be done with alot less HP than you think! Don't over look your suspension. My LT1 stock with iron heads,all bolt on's ran strong all year with 1.7 60'.
