Good question, I am a little curious what my combo might run. Anyone want to take a wild guess? I am thinking high 13's
With any luck I can find out for myself in a couple of months.

89 Formula hardtop
Tremec 5 speed
96 LT1 (completely stock)
SLP 1-3/4" headers with dual Random Tech Cats
SLP TOTL cat back
3.45 Posi Rear
Spohn Torque Arm, LCA's, LCA Relocation Brackets, SFC's
8 Point S&W cage

It would depend alot on tire and track conditions...ie: temperature, elevation etc., but I would guess somewhere in the mid 14's with street tires and decent conditions. With DR's you could pull off high 13's with a good launch. I don't know if that helped any, but there you go.

I was talking about an LT1, my estimate may be low, I'm from Vegas and the track is at about 2,700 feet and the temperature gets up around 110*. If you're at sea level and it's cooler, obviously you'll run better numbers.

PS: Where are you finding stock L98's that run high 13's to mid 14's?

I meant to say my estimates may be high, sorry about that.

I'd guess mid 13s. I have a buddy that ran a 13.28 with his 93z completly stock with an auto and 3.23s. With your headers and suspension work you might break into the 12s. His was completly stock. It amazed me.

Well, I've run a best of 13.1 at 108 with pretty much a Hotcamed LT4. I'm guessing I'm close to 400 hp with a stock T-5 and 3.42 gears out back, on Goodyear Eagle tires. Only suspension mods are Spohn LCA brackets and Hotchkis lowering springs.

The 3rd gens run a little lighter than 4th gens, dont they?

Using some kinda weight thing online, it showd my car about 3250. I think 4th gens run around 3400?

Also, would 3.73's be a good improvement over my 3.23's?

What are some good ways to lose weight while leaving the front/rear seats in.

First, you could start by removing sound deadening insulation. Other than that, you could temporarily remove the bumper supports at the track or if you are going out to race, but I would only do that if you really need it.
