4.10's, a sticky tire, and a nice breath of good air. A few more bolt-ons wouldnt hurt.

Why no headers?

I've seen 12s done several ways.

LTs, catback, tune, LCAs, tires
Gears, catback, tune, LCAs, tires
LTs, catback, tune, CAI, tires
LCAs, tires, stall, tune and catback might work too.

There are a million recipes for 12s in an LT1. You're close. Get some tires and launch that bitch hard and you just might make it.

Seriously why not get headers? If you just don't want to do the install I can tell you from personal experience that installing pacesetter LTs really wasn't that hard at all, just time consuming.

Headers, 3.73's, custom tune and sticky tires will get you there easy. Plus some time on the track.

Re: What will i need to run a 12.9

I have a friend with a stock motor, m6 94 vette. He has a full exhaust, CAI, 52mm TB and a custom tune... that's it. No cam, no heads, no weight reduction, etc. He runs consistent 12.5's with DR's. With his new tune and more practice, I think he will beat that. Of course... he races pro Auto-X and has been in driving schools since he was a kid, but it just shows you what a good driver and a lot of track time can do.

Do you get wheel hop? Spin? Bog?

Having someone else try it seems like a good idea.
