thats called matching parts and using your resources correctly. nitrous and blower for low 12's , you guys crack me up

simple, basic mods like throttle body and crappy programming... no tires, no suspension mods, no torque convertor... none of the major stuff... i just dont see it. these cars ran 14.x's stock with experts drivin...
12.2 with some very basic boltons, not buyin it.
just curious,,, what did the guy in the 'other' lane run? any chance your friend is right/left challenged?

^ I dont even think you could get that launching at redline and going to full throttle immediately, with the stickiest compound tires you can get. Well, at least, at his power level.

Bolt on LT1 cars have run in the 11s. I am not saying that is a typical LT1 bolt on time, but the guys that really take time to sort out their cars and do some serious weight reduction can get down there. I would certainly agree that the average bolt on LT1 runs more like low 13s high 12s but low 12s are certainly doable in a good combination and great conditions.
