Any LT-1 autos in 12's with basic mods...
I was wondering if anyone with an LT-1 auto was running in the 12's with out going into the motor or maybe just doing minor engine work. And what else do you think I could do to get into te 12's

gears converter and tires :cheers:
I've only hit a 12.99, but I had some other issues that I will be correcting.
John Mackey and John Panuzzo were both mid 12's in their '96's with 3.73 gears and a 2800 stall converter.

In our old 92 LT1 Auto, we ran consistent mid 12.6's with the following mods:
1.) 3.75 Ring and Pinion Gears (~$350)
2.) 275/40 17 Drag Radials (~$300)
3.) Vigilante 2800rpm Stall Converter (~$500)
4.) Dual 2½" Exhaust from the manifolds back (with a Flowmaster 2 chamber dual in/out muffler in place of the factory resonator.) (~$500)
5.) K&N Filter/Cut Lid (~$50)

I have run a 12.91 on my mich. pilot tires. A lot of people dont believe me but for some reason they really hook well at MIR. I have been to 75-80 dragway, and Cecil Co. but it dosnt hook near as well at those tracks. So as said above, the track does have a lot to do with it.
