If it helps, my LT4 did 13.3 @ 107. I'm hoping I can get 12s with a better launch. :steering:
It's hard to say because conditions always change. I've gone as slow as 14.0. I'm sure someone can give you a better idea, but I would guess somewhere right around 13.0 or a few ticks quicker?... :seeya

Anywhere in the mid 13s stock.

There are those here with no mods running just above 13 flat with auto and manual.

420 Horsepower should put you mid 12's or better depending on what rear end gears, torque converter, tires etc

Sory but I have to correct you on this one .

He said that he bored out Cylinders Not Cylinder heads , he bored out the cylinders of the block from 4.000" to a 4.030" bore . So from 350ci it became 355ci some where near 5.8L .

With the Mods listed in the signiture and some good tires/traction you will be high 12`s .

3.73 for the LT1 automatic with this combo, if you want the best possible times.

id guess 12.8-13.3 at about 109-111 mph.. depends on how serious of a cam u went with though. if you slapped a 3.73 youll be flying.

3.73s can make all the difference in the world. If you have a more aggressive cam that makes more top end power gears will really help the motor in the bottom-mid range. Again depending on how serious your heads and cam are 12.5s should be easy. With a 4.09 gear, 1.6 rrs, a chip k&n, headers with stock exhaust (without cats) and March pulleys i ran 12.7s @ 109 mph. Thats a stock motor (non ported never apart - internally stock). You should have a better cam, did you port your heads? - a better exhaust etc.. you could easily be faster. Even though its an auto you will launch easier and you dont have to worry about gears so your times will be consistant.

Personal advice would be dont shoot for a time. Most people have this idea that their cars are so fast and when they get to the track all they do is make excuses for themselves... oh the filter is dirty.. oh the sparkplugs need changing... it needs a tune up- etc etc. there are many other variables that come into play like weight (of driver too- Ive seen a 380 lb guy in a c4), altitude, temperature/humidity... etc etc.
