What tricks have you done to your LT1, and did you see any results? Or do you thing GM got it right.

it's never right! muffler elims and some other small things like cooler t-stat, descreened maf, power programmer for shift points, k&n w/ cut lid, and a few other small things will net you mid 12 second runs :D
 
Thats what I thought but not what happened. Cut lid,160 stat,hypertech programer, relocated mat, B&B 2.5 tri-flo and the one thing that really would have helped was the 3:07 cogs on the garage floor. All the other stuff seems to have slowed me down. Car was running quicker all stock go figure. :confused

Wow. Don't say that too loud; some guys may get PO'ed. :w
 
Best time at Beech Bend was 13.88 at 101.13, and I hit 102 at 14.08 all stock. With all the mods at same track 14.04 at 99.65 was the best. And if you look at all the other stuff like 60' times, 1\8 mile, 1000' mark they all are slightly better stock.:ugh
 
'm not a drag racer, but it sounds like your getting better at launching. Assuming everything else is the same for the two runs, which is not all that likely, he car did run better before.

Air density, which includes humidity and temperature, plus lane conditions are huge factors in attempted comparisons.
