how many LT1 run 13.1 near stock
Came across this today.
http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/tech/0309htp_tgo/
Article stating that this LT1 with basically a BMR suspention kit, CAI, headers plus full exhaust, hi-stall ran those times. Not even a tune and with stock gears. Look at those 60ft times! Believable?

I ran 13.21 in hot weather with like no suspension mods, but i have 3.73 gears and this was before the tuning. So thats definetly possible. I even had full weight, spare and jack, and a lots of crap in the backseat

A stall can make a world of a difference from a dead stop in an A4 car. I believe it.
Not to mention LT1s make good torque.
Also it has stickies with skinnies!

Re: how many LT1 run 13.1 near stock
My 95 Formula A4 I used to have would run 13.8 with just a CAI and cat-back in FL heat and humidity, on street tires. So I wouldn't doubt the numbers in the article.
I bet the converter alone can make a pretty substantial difference. Add in that they swapped to 3.42 gears, headers, and used drag radials and it seems pretty likely. They seem to lean toward those last suspension mods making that last bit of difference, but personally I'd think it was mostly the new opti-spark vs. a 100k mile unit.

Re: how many LT1 run 13.1 near stock
I ran a 13.55 @ 102 on street tires on the same track. Street tires and 2.0 sixty foot. Lots of suspension work but couldn't get the A4 to shift out of second gear on the track though 
Also running stock 3.42 gears similar mods w/o headers and stall converter. I think this car should be running better times?!?
