Who here has hit 12's with bolt-on's?

This guy on an other board doesnt belive you can hit 12's with bolton's on a LT1 car. Any one here have their et's with bolt on's in the 12's. I know your out there, cause Ive seen people at the track do it.

Thanks

I've personally seen one guy go 12.89@108 I believe it was. I unfortunately, only made it to 13.09@106.8 during my bolt on endeavour.

I went 13.1 at 103 or so with most most bolt ons (no h20 pump, and no RR). I had a shot opti and shot fuel pump at time. Easy 12 if those were working correctly

SAR2K has run 11.9X at 112 with 'serious' bolt-ons like 1.7 rockers, LT headers, Vigilante 3600, etc. . . Stock heads/cam/short block.

TY guys, I knew it was very possible. But it seem like alot of people dont think so. Maybe its because they dont ever goto the drag strip, or never read about other peoples combo's. But thanks again.

Shue97_Z28, thanks for the offer. I would like if you could could scan and send me the cars/pages of the fast LT1 bold cars in that issue please. send them to my e-mail @ lt1mike83@comcast.net thanks.
