    No apology. I speak in facts and figures. Not all stock VR4's run low 13's every day of the week. That means it's completely possible for an lt1 to beat a VR4.

    If you don't agree, I guess it's also impossible for an NA to beat a turbo, because we are only considering perfect conditions, and my car ran a 12.8. Just not on THAT day, lol.

    low 13s on a 100% stock car requires perfect conditions and a brutal launch. Everyone turns the boost up so fast they forget that a vr4 is a mid to upper 13s car bone stock.

    Everyone also seems to forget that when it is 50 degrees outside a turbo car is going to run a ton faster than the 90s we typically see at the gathering. Especially on pump with 20 year old intercoolers.

    That isn't bad boomer. My old LT1 car ran 14.2@98 /w a 2.2 60' when it was stock. Albeit it was an auto, with 2.73 gears, and had 15k-20k miles on the clock at that time. A 14.1 isn't too terribly off. IMO you should change your mod list just slightly. Bump the shifter up to #1, because the stock shifter suuuuuuuuucks. Then the skip shift eliminator, which I'd be surprised if your car doesn't already have by now.

    Although you might want to revamp your 60' estimates. Its a little trickier to get an F-body out of the hole hard. You need the suspension, tires, and lots of power. For example: I had pretty much all the bolt-ons done and added in a 3200 stall torque converter and 3.73 gears, but the motor was still all stock. I ended up running a 12.9@104 w/ 1.77 60'. The converter was a little large for a stock LT1, but it was way better when I added a cam to the car.

    That all comes with a price, because the stock 10 bolt rear end is a mix bag - and the bag is mostly full of "bad." 6 speed cars have enough power to break the rear end with ET Streets or other sticky tires. Autos are a little easier on the rear end, so they last longer. Either way, they're a ticking time bomb. Mine hung on by a thread, and I knew a local LS1 guy cutting 1.48~ 60's on his.

    Anyway, hit me up at Doug's party and I can steer you clear of some of the minefields of LT1 ownership.
