Usually people with unmodded LT1 automatics can get mid/upper 13s.
Getting a lower 13 is rare but doable if you launch well.

My last Vette was a 96 LT1 with performance axle... Best I got out of her bone stock was 13.9 @100... Best very I ever got out of her was 13.64 @ 103 with exhaust, cooler fan temps from the Hypertech, and a K&N...
Stock seems to get misleading because some people consider their cars stock as long as they don't touch the motor... Steeper than factory gears, high stall converters, exhaust, etc count as modded in my book...

let me clarify myself. when i stated that the guys, and girls, are running 13.3- 13.4's, these are mostly the 6-spd cars and they may be running a performance tire, but that is about it.

With my bone stock engine (except for the K&N filter/cut lid), bone stock torque convertor, and bone stock tranny, on well-worn street tires I got 13.169, and routinely got into the 13.2's last year. The only mod of note was gears, 3.54's. Now with a Hotcam, 1.6 RR's, and a high-stall TC, I'm expecting upper 12's. That is, if the local track can ever open. Because of weather, they've cancelled every weekend this month so far...

... Drag radials, no... You car must be a fluke is all I can say, I'm pretty sure you're in the minority when it comes to stock times like yours...
I'm guessing that if you took the average of all the drag racers on here, the average stock LT1 A4/3.07 is going to run mid-upper 13s @ 100-104...

Odds are whatever you run it will be better than mine. I have the freakishly slow, quite quiet C4. I had to put on 3" Tri-Flo w/o resonator and some high flow cats to hear my car...
I ran 14.2 @ 96mph or somewhere near there. Pretty sad since my bone stock lt1 t/a used to go 14.1 @ 98mph.
See modifications in sig. They're slim.

You will run somewhere between 13.10 and 14.10...I'm not being funny...all LT 1's are NOT created equal...some run strong bone stock while others run slow with mods...I've raced Mojo and he beats me everytime with his stocker...now get this...I've got a 93 with K&N open lid, BBk 52MM TB, long tube headers with no cats or pre-cats, A4 but with a Dana 44 out back, 3:73 gears, Transgo full race shift kit, 315 Nitto DR's, TCI 2400 stall converter and a rebuilt tranny good to 600 hp....oh yeah, a custom burned chip as well...my car runs perfect but couldn't get below 13.40 with a 1000 mph tailwind....go figure... lol

For the record, I've never raced Dan in my six speed(or have I?), but this is from Feb of 2004 when we raced(timeshots) in SC. I was in my automatic with the only mods being 3.45 gears and the 2800 converter.
Stock exhaust, drag radials and skinnies on the front.
This video(being very blurrry) I ran a 13.15 to Dan's 13.91, but he lost a lot of traction on the start. Had Dan not spun, he certainly would have cut off a few tenths.

Very true. I'm not sure what the DA was the day I ran that 13.07, but in NJ, we get some very good air.
I've also ran a 12.99 and 12.97 with the mufflers cut off and a K&N.
