new 98 Z, faster than normal?

Ok I believe the numbers. But running a 12.3 on stock suspension is not going to happen.

If u beleive the numbers then how can u not see a 12.3 out of it?......IF u look up his name and look in his sig ull see exactly what he ran. Beleive it or not i dont think his suspension is gonna be a problem he has launched that car at 5k like 3 times to pull off his 13.2 passes.....He started with that car running 14's and has just gotten better at driving, last time out he missed 2nd and stil ran a 13.6 which was faster than me before the cam. He has a WICKED top end.

One of his friends ran 12.3 up here on stock suspension DR's and a TR224 cam, believe me its possible.

Do you realize the 60' he will have to pull to get a 12.3 with 348 RWHP? He will probably blow up his rear end before he gets a chance at a 12.3. I'm not doubting it anymore, but the chances are unlikely that it will run a 12.3 at sea level with a close to stock car. It is an impressive car however. Dynoing more than some LS1's with full exhaust and other mods.

Sorry for the argument though. Didn't intend on that. I have just never heard of any LS1 with that few of mods running a 12.3 before and I don't see it happening. Good luck to him though.

LS1's with a cam run in the low 12's high 11's stock they are in the 13's for the most part unless you gutt it totaly out you can do a little better.
But I run on a stock suspension all day and I'm in the low 12's.

I agree with u to an extent cause yes MOST LS1 are in the low to mid 13's at sea level he is running those times at 3700 of elevation and 5500 DA that almost an entire second difference from just elevations....I say that because i have seen it, my buddies 01 GT did 14.1 up here and then when he moved to San Antonio with the same set up only difference being the track he ran a 13.1...this was a full bolton GT 5spd with MT drag radials and a tune.


When i was down at TSP i asked Jon about what they normaly dynoed cars at there that were stock, he said any where from 290-310 was what a normal LS1 did, mine with a lid and flowmaster did 301..i considered my car normal as i was also runing 13.9's-14.0's before the boltons.....now u also have to keep in mind all dynos will be different and just cause he only did 348 there doesnt mean he wouldnt do better on another dyno....also his numbers are STD they arent corrected to for altitude which most dyno numbers people post are. So i would say his car is above average.
