Your ET will depend on a lot of factors, including:
-weather
-traction
-1/4 mile driver experience

That said, I would expect your Vette's potential is very low 13s to high 12s, with a very good DA.

With the mods and no tires 13.82 to 13.91 at 100.00 to 102
in the quarter if the air is cold and engine running at 180 deg.
I know

Most heavily depends on what gear ratio your car has.

I thought stock LT1's could do better this.

Very good point. If it has 2.73s, or worse yet, 2.59s like I had when i bought my car, then more like a 13.9. If he has decent gears then mid 13s are possible with that combo. But I think its safe to say that 12s of any kind are pretty much impossible.
